Barry tried to choke Scarface Barry and he said "I forgot to tell you my suit is cooler than yours." Because he would be risking lives to keep the suit. If you're referring to what happened with Plastique that had nothing to do with the suit itself; she can make anything combustible.

Self-destruct is plausible; Savitar is a vindictive character, as we've from his determination to kill Barry and Iris after his plans have already failed. Trouble there is that Barry is literally indentical to Savitar, apart from the scarring, so it should recognise him as the same person.

In any case the suit, once dismantled, could be reassembled. To be moreeffective at stopping rogue metas and villains it would make perfect sense to have Cisco(and Harry) work on rebuilding the suit. Instead Barry is superstitious or something; like having the power of the other suit would make him Savitar. If being a Speedster in the first place didn't corrupt him I think that's groundless.
