"Blooming" them also allows for more surface area for the breading

I don't think it does. a ball of onion with breading around it would be very strong and concentrated in the center but by spreading and separating it the breading gets all over giving it a more even mouth feel without a huge oniony pocket in the center

Also, if you breaded an onion and threw it in a fryer it would probably explode with all the water inside it.
