It does, but have you seen guys treating it like it was a lawn chair, rocking back and forth? No idea if that breaks them or not.
My guess is transportation damage. I have followed some really bouncing bikes on bike racks.
My guess is also that if a tubeless rim splits under that kind of pressure, it may just be a symptom of a design or production defect.
After all, spokes have been used for a long time, but there are still rims out there that crack around the spoke holes.
