Worse, it was contained. Compare gunpowder lying out on a table with gunpowder in a pipe bomb. The former makes heat and light but does very little damage beyond localised thermal burning (Ruby's sneeze). A pipe bomb, however, can cause considerable blast and shrapnel damage. Containment causes a far more violent and powerful reaction.

Contained in the shipping boxes, the same material as caused a moderately harmless fireworks display when Ruby sneezed could have been a very, very powerful bomb.
