It's an explosive, and a fairly common one at that. So it allows people to destroy things. That means it's used in construction and demolition, "digging" mines and tunnels for transportation, etc. It also means people use it to blow things up, and since it's fairly common more people can get their hands on it and misuse it. You could say the same thing of guns--police officers use them to maintain order, but people also kill other people with them. People play baseball with baseball bats, other people beat up people or play "mailbox baseball" with baseball bats. So the real misuse for anything is the fact that some people are destructive and stupid.
