Tomorrow marks the 14th birthday of BTC. Why block 770k and not 736k though?

Bitcoin was started on Jan 3rd 2009. It's been running for 5114 days tomorrow or 7,364,160 minutes.

Why is the block height at 770074 rather than around 736416 though, when the difficulty adjustment every 2016 blocks changes the difficulty in a way to have 1 block produced per 10 minutes on average?
