Ah, but the ONLY thing that doesn't get copied across is the smart
shape. Any staff expression comes out in all the exploded parts, as
does any accent, staccato, or any articulation assigned to the
original chord. So the single instance theory seems to me to be
applied in an inconsistent manner and is not at all logical to the
idea of "explode" to parts.
Also, I seem to remember that a few versions (years) back the
hairpins and other smart shapes DID get transferred on explode, maybe
others can remember? I'll open up a few older versions to see if I
can put my finger on the exact one.

When you explode, there is only a single instance of each hairpin
and expression, so to end up with one on each new staff means that
the developers need to create more instances of those hairpins and
expressions.
