Those bags could be punctured and deflate.Or have a slow leak and deflate.That means no protection.Even bubble wrap has MANY cells,so loss of a few does not matter.
Puncture all the peanut-pillows and it doesn't matter;No effect.
We had custom expanding foam packing(InstaPak) at my TEK field offices,and there always was the possibility of foam sticking to the item,permanently ruining it,or too much foam crushing the item upon expansion,or it squirting out any opening in the box,or splitting the box.It's messy stuff to work with. We received lots of packages with loose peanuts,so making peanut-pillows was a great way of recycling them,and cheaper than using the expanding foam,or cutting pieces of regular foam to fit.
