So, ALL 10’s of thousands of primers went off at the same time?

Nope. But all it would take would be for one brick to go off to create a chain reaction that would happen in a fraction of a second and would be a pretty impressive explosion.
Try hitting just ONE with a hammer on an anvil to get a feel for that.

Be sure to wear ear protection, especially if you are outside next to the wall of a building. Do not ask how I know this!

And don't forget eye protection. A shred of the cup material or a flying primer anvil would probably take out an eye.

An “ illegal reloading situation” would surely bring charges by ATF, pretty sure they are/ would act quickly on such considering TPTB.
How and Who determined that a powder fire ignited “10’s of thousands of primers” at ONE time? Unless they were All poured in a Large container would like to hear an explanation by a expert . An investigation by one thats good online could discover the mortgage holder and the insurance company of property. Insurance investigator is who we need to hear from.

Sounds like a job for Barnaby Jones!
I've been watching some of those episodes and so far they have not had one covering
reloading/illegal ammunition manufacture and ensuing mayhem.
