Well explosions tend to be hot and fiery, or at the very least hot. I suppose it'd be possible to create an explosive shock wave of some sort with airbending, but it wouldn't be the same. Technically, all of the elements could create a form of shock wave, or an explosion of sorts if it were compacted densely enough and then let go. That doesn't necessarily mean it is the same thing. Besides, wouldn't that involve air density control?
