> What do people do in factories?
Ventilation. Compartmentalization. Controlled processes with early warnings. Proper tools. Quality control. Active fire suppression. Not doing that at home with your wife, kids, and your dog.
Sure, if you know what you're doing, can deal with thermal runaway, and can trust your work afterwards, nobody stops you from doing it. I've done it myself (never tried anything larger than a e-bike battery though). Just keep in mind that you're working with a firebomb that deceptively looks like an electronic device.
