ETA: Wow, on re-reading that, it sounds arrogant. It's not meant to be - I'm sincerely curious and have no frame of reference for what a "normal" OE should look like.

In the first 121 op, the first 100 hours is a pure learning experience. If you ignore it, you will get bit. It's far different compared to any 91 operation or previous rating training. Open your eyes to everyone involved and everything going on outside your direct control.

I did ~20 landings and 10 Instrument approaches on IOE. How many did it take you to first solo or get your instrument ticket?
The hours seem high initially but depending on leg length there is only so much opportunity to fly the plane in every phase of flight.

Light piston pilots are at a higher risk because...
1) It's all new, and there's a lot of it.
2) Not all of them have the ability (in some cases work ethic) to do it.

Sure, learning continues far beyond that - but what number is "enough" versus "too much" for OE? I was under the impression from previous comments, for example, that 100 was too much. I understand from your comments than 10 is far too little. What's normal?
