[network-health] Exit relay count

How many exit nodes does tor network have? From https://metrics.torproject.org/relayflags.html , I see more than 2000 exit relays. However `❯ curl --silent -x "socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050" https://check.torproject.org/torbulkexitlist | wc -l ` shows 1144 .

Is it because about half of them are not trusted enough to be assigned as exit nodes even though the relay operator is ok with being exit nodes ?
