There have been 22 single 13.37s.
There have been 11 single 11.37s.
Why would a big majority of the 11.37s get +2s?
Continuing down:
There have been 13 single 9.37s.
There have been 8 single 7.37s.
There have been 6 single 5.37s.
There have been 25 single 3.37s.
There have been 18 single 1.37s.
And for comparison:
There have been 366 single 13.36s.
There have been 358 single 13.38s.

@Stefan
The big majority would be because it seems like the only explanation.
Though, there could be a mistake, like judge's handwriting being hard to read (I could definitely be the judge here :P), judge writting the time incorectly, even judge intentionally writing wrong, or a QJ timer.
The 13.36, and 13.38 comparison actually favors the +2 theory,
since you can't get 13.37 on a Stackmat, it isn't as common as those two are.
EDIT:
Ok, it seems the non-memory timers are responsible for most of them.

@Stefan 13.37 might not be an impossible time but it is really rare to get. The people that got a 13.37 single might have used the timers before the memory timer because the memory timer skips times.
I don't know what timer version is used, but this proves that 13.37 should be possible.
(took like 10 sec to search on youtube, maybe because I knew there had been a video up sometime (and still is))

There should be a picture from Worlds 2007 where two people practicing on stage got 13.37 singles on 3x3 at the same time, and at timers fairly close to each other. I remember both solvers pausing so that audience members could take pictures (this was during warm-ups, not during any round). Sadly I don't remember who the two solvers were, I only remember the incident.
idk I could be wrong. We could ask some sport stackers or something and see if they think it's possible..?
The times that seemingly can't be gotten on stackmats nowadays are possible on older timers. My timer is from 2005 and I can get 13.37, 9.99, 0.99, 1.00, 1.01 etc.
Maybe most (if not all) 13.37 was obtained with older timers?
By some weird reason it seems as they went from a perfectly fine time chip to a worse one a few years back. I hope the new 3-digit timers are more accurate.
The DNFs, Sub X and WCA Growth tabs don't open for me. Is that the case for anyone else?
That's the case for me for the two first.
