I would be mad that the TPMS didn't alert you to the flat before it went catastrophic. Could have been a nasty accident if you had swerved while the tire was deflated.

delamination? That is most definitely a defect. That was the central cause of the Firestone scandal several years ago (aside from the fact that they were mounted to Ford Exploders)

Check your other 3 tires very carefully. If you see anything starting to separate then there is a much bigger problem.
