No block substitutions in plink BIM file?

The BIM file from PLINK contains the variant information that accompanies a BED file. The variants called are based on exome sequencing. However, I encounter a strange issue. The BIM file consists of only single nucleotide substitutions, insertions, and deletions of base pairs. There are 0 multiple base pair substitutions. (block substitutions)

Is this normal?

I copied a few lines from one of the BIM files. (variant 1 is ALT, and 2 is REF)
