Itemized medical expenses deduction

I turned 65 in 2024, my wife was 61.

Filing jointly

My AGI was 155k and my medical expenses were $24,288, which is 15.67%. Turbo tax Deluxe says that my Standard Deduction is better for me. Since the threshold is 7.5% for me, how is the Standard Deduction better?
