Folks are dedicated to "lithium batteries can be hacked to explode" because its so juicy and scary. I myself advocate for the abandonment of portable phones. Tie it to a desk; the thing is not your servant. I still hafta say I find the idea that there's reliable software triggers to even ignite, let alone detonate, the batteries of devices in any large scale highly unlikely. Someone put effort into making these devices able to do that. It would almost certainly have been detectable had someone thought to look.
