Note that with small boards, the komi is really high, such as 25 for 5x5. With larger board it seems to get smaller. So it seems likely to me that it should get smaller with increasing board size. Of course this is not any kind of proof - it's just a trend that we can observe at only the smallest board sizes. Even at 9x9 it isn't clear which komi is correct.
It has nothing to do with the strength of the players since this is about what value is correct. You cannot talk about which value is correct to give an even game if you do not specifically identify which 2 players - and that might even vary from day to day. For practical reasons we can set it in such a way that we get the most equal results - but then we would having nothing to argue about. We could just say, "set komi to give the most equal results" which is what I think is actually done.
