In addition to the posts above: "blockchain explorers" (blockexplorers) can't tell which is the recipient's address(s) from your change address.
It will consider all of the outputs as the sent amount when you explored a TXID instead of an address.
You are correct if sending bitcoin from a wallet and will leave change, the change will be from the transaction output and will be sent back into the address from the wallet which the person use to send the bitcoin, this is what that happens in this case in a way the wallet will use the sender address to automatically send remaining amount to change address of the sender wallet after sending the amount.
