It's fashionable on the internet. In reality with most C&C bullets they are designed to work best at speeds up to probably 2800fps or so unless its designed for a 30-30 etc. For most non magnum rounds that shoot bullets of 120 to 200 gr bullets that covers most of their effective range. I'm willing to bet most of the blowups are out of magnum rounds shooting fairly light for caliber bullets at high speed and at relatively short ranges if you got the whole story.
I have had one C&C bullet blowup in 40 yrs of hunting. It was a early nosler ballistic tip 150 gr 30 cal shot out of my 30-06 loaded hot. A deer showed it self at probably 30 yds and boom a ugly saucer sized hole on his shoulder and a lot of blood shot meat into his chest cavity. Nothing by bits and pieces of bullet found.
The CL is one of my main hunting bullets as I would buy them bulk and reload them. Never had anything but fine performance with them.
