Glock barrels are designed for combat reliability not made to fire reloads or to be gentle on brass. Most kabooms come from over charged handloads, or ammo from used brass that has been fired several times or just plain bad reloads.
Anyone who has expectation beyond combat reliability is irrational. Glocks will chamber and fire new factory ammo with unparelled reliability. If you want to fire reloads, overmax spec ammo, lead, or want to save brass get an aftermarket barrel.
I agree with most of what you said here with the exception of glock reliability being unparalleled. My point about factory ammo is that is is so easy for people to dismiss the kaboom issue as only bad reloads and assign all the blame to the shooter and non to the chamber design. For such an event to happen with enough frequency to gain glock the reputation it has to be the chamber design. At very least it is a contributing factor to all glock kabooms (with the exception of squibs I suppose.) The design makes factory ammo kabooms possible and lowers the threshold on how forgiving the chamber is to over-pressure.

I simply can not recall. If you did I agree with you.
