You need a large enough mass to go critical, and you also need it to achieve going super-critical in an extremely short amount of time, that’s why we use explosives to trigger them, if it doesn’t go critical fast enough then it’s closer to a reactor
That’s why even though the demon core was part of an atomic bomb core, when it went critical, it didn’t explode
