Hm, what am I not getting? One transaction per second for every human on the planet would be 8 billion TPS, not 70k, no?

Yes, the point is it's difficult to even conceive of something that needs anywhere near the billions of TPS, because generally speaking, humans are not doing something with a computer once per second on average. Far lower. I might use my credit card less than once per day on average.
Ah, yes, humans don't, but computers do. I'd imagine there are plenty of systems that ingest automated data (eg sensors) that need billions of TPS.
