Its not typical, but you can get 20 Mb+ jpegs out of an entry level 18MP dlsr. Especially if there's lots of color and at like 5500x3300 resolutions and created with 100% quality preset.
I checked my immich and I have some (and larger), but yeah, not exactly typical.

I am not sure I've ever used the 100 quality setting on jpegs. Many years ago I experimented with that a lot and decided that anything over 90 was not different to my eye but the file size was much bigger, relatively speaking. So yeah I suppose if you did use 100, a 20 MB jpeg image is not hard to reach.
