This is a fun accidental example of how "over X" gets abused as a way to make numbers look more impressive. (See also: media using "most Americans believe X" to mean "53% of Americans believe X, 44% disagree")

The ‘most (read: 53%) people believe X’ really bugs me as well But it’s structurally worse practice than ‘over X’, because this one has an obvious upper bound: eg “Over 40 people” means between 41-50 people
