Later I thought about it and felt like an elitist asshole.
I wouldn't call that elitist. Logical, yeah.
Calling the powder in fireworks "gunpowder" sounds like grade-school. =p
It seems to me anyone not knowledgeable enough to know that different comps are used in different fireworks, also wouldn't understand that a singular comp (BP for instance) can have different burning properties depending on how it is processed.
(hypothetically) Knowing nothing about pyro, I could light a fountain (color changing flames), smoke ball (colored smoke), and a bottle rocket (propulsion and possible report/whistle/both) and know it's a bit of a stretch that they're all the same.

Then you can get creative by putting smaller fireworks inside of larger ones and things like that.

Of course you can.
