Am I the only person that didn't know that there is a cap on lit TNT of 20 ? How long has this been the case?

Not sure haven't tested that yet, and no it's not a dropped item limit kinda thing.. Since I just found this out in a flat world dealy I was messing with.. but yeah had not noticed that tnt was capped out I remember doing a whole lot more in the past

I had done something similar awhile back just for kicks. Lit about 60 or 70 TNT just to watch the destruction. All of them primed, but because of the way I had set up the redstone to light them all, some detonated a couple ticks before others. All the destroyed blocks turned entities exceeded the item cap limit and at least half the TNT just disappeared without detonating.

Have a cannon that uses 50 TNT, no limit here, although I haven't used it in like a month

Been 20 TNT for awhile now, since a few updates past. However you could lite one in a continuous row and one at a time will go off. But you can't have more than 20 at the same time going off.
Their was a post from another member a few months ago about the subject.
