Okay, let's review and summarize. The Glock Kabooms are due to a flaw that allows them to fire out-of-battery. There's a lot of stuff about changing barrels to avoid bullet setback due to the high pressure nature of the .40, etc. But the bottom-line is the culprit is a design flaw that allows the Glock to fire out-of-battery.
So why are there not more Kabooms with 9mm? Certainly there must be about as many 9's out there as 40's. I can see where 10mm and 45 ACP Glocks would be far less popular and thus not as many have Kaboomed statistically. But why aren't there as many 9 Kabooms as 40's? The 9 is a high pressure round too, especially in the best defensive loadings.

Repeating it doesn't make it true. Pick up any Glock and check for yourself, they will only fire when the barrel is locked into the slide (in battery). Yes, the slide can move rearward very slightly and still fire, but the barrel and slide are still locked together at that point.

Interesting thread. I'm going to buy a Glock 17 now. You won't be disappointed. If you're not accustomed to the striker fired system, though, it takes a little effort to get used to. Once done, though, it's a great platform. I recommend also purchasing the SIRT practice Glock for dry fire drills.
