Thank you for using "number of" instead of incorrectly using amount as is the current trend.

Non-native here, can you explain why?

Amount is for things you cannot count. For example, an amount of water. If you can count it, use number of.

HOWEVER, English is not a dead language, so the definition of amount may just be changing.
