I guess it’s different if the airline does it rather than if a passenger potentially engineers a situation that their bags fly but they are safely on the ground

Why? You think they just blindly load all of the bags up without putting them through any kind of security screening? What about suicide bombers?
Security screening isn’t perfect. Water bottles are banned now because there’s no process to screen just the content for example. The shoe bomber and the pants bomber both got on board despite active screening at the gates.
