Popcorn is a bleve of the outer layer of the kernel. This is the same if you heat up a pressurized container of any kind until it fails.

There is no oxidation reduction reaction going on though, so no explosion.

Probably because a $800 phone can be sufficiently protected with a $25 case, but even if you have a car worth $20k or $10k the cheapest you’d find a shop to apply that coating including the cost of material is $4k minimum.

If phone cases on average costed $200 i bet we’d see less phones with cases on them.
