I haven't read everything, but just felt like dropping in my two cents.

The argument of "Why would Deidara not create/use earth to make more bombs?" is a bit off. We saw Gari, the only other Explosion release user, create a pin point detonation with his fist. So it's clear that you don't even need a medium to enact this, so the question of "Why wouldn't he just do the thing" isn't proof that this isn't possible, just that Deidara, the guy so wholly obsessed with his own artistic sensibilities that he blew himself up to prove it was better than the sharingan, didn't want to use some other source for his explosions.
