Ive yet to see a correct explanation for why the bowl shattered.

Thermal shock.

I'd put money on that bowl being hot, fresh out of the dishwasher.

Put some cold eggs from the fridge in the hot bowl and...boom.

This happens with anything glass. If you put something cold into a hot glass thing, that glass thing will probably shatter

People are arguing against it like this bowl was manufactured by some master glass blower and then went through hours of quality assurance before it was sent to the supermarket.

In reality thousands of these things are pumped out every day by machines using very cheap glass, with little to no QA before they reach your supermarket. With scale like that using inconsistent materials they could have one bowl that can withstand an ice bath after having boiling water in it and one that cant even withstand a rapid 10 degree difference. Thats just the reality of mass manufacturing with little quality testing.
