Baby formulas are suckled through a rubber nipple with just a few tiny holes. If the baby formula clumps and blocks any of those tiny holes, the result will be a vary unhappy baby, and then shortly, very unhappy parents.

This means “no clumping” is a MUST-HAVE feature for baby formulas. The same incentive does not exist for adult protein powders.
