It's perfectly normal and reasonable to put a reasonable deadline on getting a response to an offer because the company must indeed fill the role, ideally this should be communicated when the offer is made. But putting pressure or having an "exploding offers" really is a trick to create urgency exactly in the same way time-limited sales work and the aim is the same: Making people buy things without shopping around.
