If that's the point, just chuck the thing into a boiling vat of acid and declare with a condescending voice "whoops, looks like they still haven't quite managed that boiling vat of acid problem despite knowing I test this on every new model". I'm sure that will get those likes and subscribes.

Or are people actually putting a lighter to the phone's screen during day-to-day use so that it matters how many seconds it survives?

comparing hand bending a phone and having it catch fire to chucking a phone into a boiling vat of acid is certainly reasonable...
