Original Note:
Misleading. Rocket didn't just explode. Flight Termination System was manually commanded to detonate and zip the tanks apart due to it's anomaly mid-flight. This is a common and standard practice during launches that don't go as expected. The test itself was a factual success https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=starship-flight-test
