It's the reason that a 2-3 level dip into Warlock is so common (you need 2 levels to get the Agonizing Blast invocation). Personally I think that Eldritch Blast is integral to the Warlock class and should have been a class feature rather than a cantrip so it scales with class level. But as written it scales with character level and everyone can be as good at it as a high level Warlock.

If a 7th level monk takes 1 level in Warlock, are they able cast the eldrich blast with two beams as they are technically an 8th level character?
Yes, cantrips are powered up based on total character level.
Cantrips are one of few things that increase with character level rather than class level (the others being required level exp and proficiency bonus).
