Wordpress options table is growing very fast

We have seen many Wordpress options tables that grow to hundreds of gigabytes very fast. After OPTIMIZE table, it takes only ~100MB. I understand that this is about inserting and deleting rows, but is this "normal"?

Before optimize:

-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 806G 2021-04-26 06:59 ccvm_options.ibd

After optimize:

-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 168M 2021-04-26 07:01 ccvm_options.ibd
