Statistically insignificant issues regarding flight don't really make the news.
Except they do when airline safety is trending in the news. In 2019, the NTSB registered 40 accidents involving damage to a major air carrier or injury to a passenger. That is about 1 major event every 10 days. It's been 18 days since the last major event (door blowing off).

I'm suggesting that the types of issues an engineer wouldn't consider to be significant would actually be too boring to report on.
