Yes, it is normal to get a BIL within 24 hours of applying.

Maybe the visa office has started the background checks right away due to the time it takes to complete these checks

So everyone gets background checks?? Or is this the dreaded background check that could take months (forever)?

Not every application goes through background checks. It depends on the nationality and/or if the applicant has lived in high-risk countries and/or if the applicant has worked in sensitive/critical areas of work.

I don't mean to scare you.... yes, these are the 'dreaded background checks' that can take months (or in some cases, even more than one year). That being said, we have also seen background checks that were completed in a few weeks
