This was a test run not too far from the real launch. This was not one of those launches where they expected a massive explosion from testing.

Does anyone expect an unplanned rapid disassembly?

Jokes aside, there are test launches where new boosters are tested and they do expect catastrophic failures because they are still in the test phase. But this was not one of those tests.
