No, bash's completion system is what's responsible for line numbers in
the thousands.
How? Is bash's completion on your system different than on my system? I'd
like you to substantiate that statement and will thank you for a proper

Have you customized your bash by aliases as long as tens or hundreds of
lines? Now is it bash's fault you have defined an alias for something
that ought to be a script/program in its own right?

No, it's very likely bigger. wc -l is lines of course, and I'm
guessing each line is more than 1 character. However,
$ set | wc -l

I don't quite get that locally.
It only starts to balloon once you begin customizing bash. I'm not
sure how rc handles functions, but the nice thing about zsh is that it
compiles them to bytecode instead of this insanity that bash employs.
