Is it poor build quality or are they not designed to explode on impact?

Part of it is that we don’t really consider how high dud rates are with our explosives. Fun little thought exercise: Where is Hammas getting rockets?
If a bomb or rocket being used to commit genocide has a 10% chance of not going off, but it’s the size of a car, it’s relatively easy to find and disarm after the genocide is done. And since the bombs are big, you only need a few.
But now imagine instead of that bomb, you have 10000 little grenades in an easter egg. That Easter egg pops above the target, and your 10000 bombs carpet a giant swathe of land. And 10% of those haven’t gone off yet. And you drop a couple hundred of those. You essentially create a minefield with zero markings or record of the mine locations. And those stick around even after the genocidal invaders are beaten back.
I’d say it’s a pretty Laos-y way to conduct war.
