Actually this is because if you go to full scale scorched earth tactics, you don't care about what else gets caught up and hence you can unlock whole new levels of destruction such as summoning warp storms or making stars go supernova. I would propose that few/no ships mentioned thus far would be able to survive that level of punishment.
