Because the foil bottom can scratch it and leave black marks from the hot aluminum rubbing around on it. Also the aluminum is thin. The corn is hot as is the oil and aluminum is a great conductor of heat. In some older models this could lead to a crack.

Possibly because ceramic cooktops require very flat bottoms on the pots and pans you use which may not be possible with the thin jiffy pop aluminum popper.
