I agree with the point you’re making. I gave those examples only to show that uncontained engine failures have resulted in damage beyond what was predicted through the certification process.
With the United accident, keep in mind that the failure of the #2 engine left them with symmetrical thrust on #1 and #3 that they could use to compensate for the loss of flight controls. A 2 engine aircraft would be a very different situation.
