Clears 37K Transactions

am i the only one who finds this number very strange?
i had to go check it out with my own eyes to believe it: https://bitcoincash.blockexplorer.com/block/000000000000000007a4afe23f9c4681ea37bb73b6070587e1503a08a4681e23

in case you are wondering why, i should say it is because bitcoin has 1 MB blocks and these blocks contain 2500 transaction on average. that means when you increase the size to 8 MB it should become 20,000 transactions at best on average not 37,800.

looking deeper in the transactions in the block you can see there are lots of them like this:
https://bitcoincash.blockexplorer.com/tx/b1634a2ac00b2a15e3c95a7ca6436b22f9513dae023d2c763f8dfb857b0dcc27
with only 1 input and 1 output which is extremely uncommon for normal usage because people are going to have some change in 90% of the times.

additionally if you check bitcoin's mempool https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions
there are currently 147,337 unconfirmed trasnaction with a total size of 251,592 kB or 1,707 Byte per transaction on average.
now you tell me how is it bitcoin transactions have more than 1 input and certainly more than 1 output but this particular block in BCH is like this?
