The 14 grandchildren may be spaced out. In some families, sibblings and/or cousins may have an age difference of 20+ years. Some of the grandchildren may have fertility issues. Some may be single by choice.

I just look at the raw numbers and see the same right around me. On my wife’s side, she has a lots of siblings and almost the same number of nieces and nephews - she should have twice as many little ones...and half of the nephews are gay, which doesn’t help (that’s because her immigrant family didn’t know enough to keep them out of public school here...but that’s another story).

By age 100, most people are not likely to have many more great grand kids...maybe a few, but not many.
