Flame cutting is caused by a number of factors. Could it be that S&W decides which of these factors may be present with the intended use of a given model and makes its decision based on the likelihood of those factors causing a warranty issue?
For example they may decide that although a 357 may flame cut more than a 38 in a particular barrel/cylinder/load application, the probability is that the typical Airweight is not going to be fired thousands of rounds with the particular 357 that flame cuts.
What I'm saying is you probably want to ask the bean counters instead of the engineers.
