Not arguing here, but in my experience nails popping out is generally
due to under-engineering in the manners of: movement caused by too much
space between joists, and nails too short.

I know there are other causes, but I've seen nails pop due to those causes.

Driving nails at creative angles can do wonders towards preventing them from
popping out.
