Huh?

Could you explain this because it's very confusing. Or are we not talking 5E?

It's a fireball.. that has a big AoE. So if it's a roughly hand sized sphere but it deals damage in a big sphere.. logically it has to explode, right?

Beyond that it's got the word "explosion" in the spell description, at least on dnd beyond.

A bright streak flashes from your pointing finger to a point you choose within range and then blossoms with a low roar into an explosion of flame.

It doesn't do any special damage or bypass hardness of objects, so that doesn't sound like an explosion except in "flavor" text. At least it ignites objects, which it didn't do in previous editions.
