In trumps lifetime as president, he only signed 55 executive orders. As compared to Obama's 254. Some of what Biden signed were executive actions, which are basically presidential advice to various departments on how they should go about doing stuff. Actions are more commonly used, but don't have a tendency to be fully enforced, whereas Orders are fully enforced, but can be constitutionally challenged by the courts or legislature.

Yeah Trump averaged 55 per year. He signed 220 in 4 years, Obama signed 276 in 8. The difference was that a large amount of Trump’s EO’s were reversals of Obama’s. Obama was just straight up making stuff up out of thin air in order to get around Congress. Now Biden is bringing back Obama era EO’s.
Executive orders are wrong. This is where I'd love to see SCOTUS step in similar to marbury v madison and just straight up say "no... legislative authority rests with the congress, per the constitution."

I think your numbers are wrong. Just an FYI.

Yes.
