If I cook a full sized bag of popcorn, it doesn’t start to burn until after 3 or 4 minutes when the popping slows, but if I cook a snack sized bag, it will burn in 2 or 3 minutes after the popping slows. But shouldn’t individual popped kernels start to burn based on how long since they popped?

When the popcorn is popping, the microwave energy is going into turning the water in the kernels into steam. This causes the corn to pop, whereby the steam is released.
After that, the microwave energy just going into the popped popcorn, which will start to burn it.
