In set terms Theta() is the intersection of O() and Omega() [more info at the highest ranked answer in this complexity question on stackoverflow].
Very few algorithms have Theta() (merge sort being one of the few examples), however all algorithms in the cheatsheet seem to have entries).
There also seems to be mixing between best, average, worst and the mathematical concepts of big Omega, Theta, O.

Should most entries not have a Big Theta() listed?
Should most entries have no Big Theta() listed?

Just saw that the cheat sheet has conflated the ideas of best/average/worst input case vs Big Omega / Theta / O. I’m disappointed, these are NOT the same concepts at all. The sheet as it stands is incorrect.
This is still a misunderstanding. You are still confusing big-Theta and big-O with average vs. worst case. Big-whatever has nothing to do with probability! Quicksort for example is Theta(n * log(n)) average case, Theta(n^2) worst case.
