and are, essentially, burning thermite

What makes you think flashbangs contain thermite? From what I can tell they contain a small amount of explosives[1].

The filler consists of a pyrotechnic metal-oxidant mix of magnesium or aluminium, and an oxidizer such as ammonium perchlorate or potassium perchlorate.
