From the CVE, the Overall CVSS Score was only 9.8

That means they were still 0.2 away from the worst possible vulnerability score.

So, on the one hand, Could be worse! On the other hand, there could be a software dev sitting out there thinking "I screwed up big time & didn't even get a perfect score on it. Oh well, better luck next time."

I guess it's not a 10 because it couldn't cause a fire or explosion?

You can't just expect to get a perfect score by accident, you need to work for it.
