The bug
If you use a flint and steel to ignite TNT, the in-game statistic for the number of times a flint and steel was used doesn't go up.
How to reproduce
Run the following commands to set up the scoreboard:
/scoreboard objectives add flintandsteel minecraft.used:minecraft.flint_and_steel /scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar flintandsteel /scoreboard players set @s flintandsteel 0Get a flint and steel, and set fire to a block. As expected, the scoreboard goes up.
Place TNT and use a flint and steel on it
→ ❌ The scoreboard amount doesn't go up, even though you used a flint and steel to ignite it

Primed TNT is considered an entity, so this may be a duplicate of MC-54972
Hi there!
Chandler, I think this is more of a relation than a duplication. When the player actually uses the flint and steel, the TNT is not yet an entity, so MC-54972 doesn't seem to me like it's what's happening here.
Confirmed for 1.16. Also, the scoreboard statistic and the menu statistic do not always match when igniting TNT.
