Smokeless powder doesn’t burn particularly well unless it is contained; I.e. in a gun. If you just try to light a container of it, it will burn long enough to burst the container, flinging the bulk of the powder away unlit.
Black powder is moderately effective as an explosive, which is why you are required to have an explosives handling license to buy it unless you satisfy certain criteria for a gun-related exemption.
