If you're vaporized, bits of you have no chance of hurting anyone else like they could if you were hit by debris and simply exploded into chunks.
Call me selfish, but I'm worrying more about what's safe for me.
Also, If I'm at a distance where I'm exploded into chunks, then the people who could be hurt by those chunks are likely to not be doing so great themselves either.
