Why do people say Popcorn Grain sucks?

Anyone have experience with Popcorn grain?
I have 30 pounds of it. Just made 5 bags of Popcorn grain boiled with Gypsum.
Pros and Cons? Any insight or experiences to give me?
I also made 15 bags of Popcorn grain 25%, Oak 75% and Gypsum.
5/5/5 bags of Popcorn/Oak are; Golden Oyster, King Oyster, Shitakke.
5 bags of Popcorn Grain/Gypsum are; Pearl Oyster.
I'm going to be using Popcorn Grain all the fucking time because I have a ton of it.

Nutrition is probably a factor.
Which is why when I boiled the Corn to prepare it I added a shit ton of Gypsum.
And I plan to Spawn it to other things.
I just figured it would colonize quickly.

Honestly I don't see any difference in inoculation points.
When you inoculate, it falls down onto whatever it touches either way.

Endospore count doesn't matter when you PC at 15psi for 120 minutes does it? Lol.
Thanks for input cronicr

Is there still a survival chance of Endospores through PC ?
I mean you hard boil Popcorn grains for like 30mins before PC anyways...

Less nutrition means potentially less colonization time does it not?
I'm documenting all my grows by the way

Popcorn has worked well for me in the past. The most important thing is to soak for at least 24hrs before you boil. Popcorn has produced nice flushes for me in the past. I am not sure were it stand against grain on a nutritional level. But the more kernel per volume of a rye or oat jar is higher than popcorn. This is what everyone means by more inoculation points. The grains are larger so they take up more room meaning less individual kernels and more space between the grains=less overall mycelium.
If you have a 30lb bag! Hells Yar PC the shit out of it and keep us posted.
I definitely understand what people are saying about 'less mycelium'. But the 1 successful grow that I have done with popcorn grain has proven the opposite. The space in between grains were Filled with mycelium, (cubensis), as if there was no empty space at all. No less mycelium. But I don't know how often that happens

I heard a couple people mention soaking in water prior to boiling because of a lot of starches. What is any negative impact of starch? Because I did not soak before boiling
