A380 engine in flight shut-downs

First RR then GE. Is there a case to be made that we are experiencing a typical "bathtub curve" failure characteristic ? Or.....is it possible we are entering an area where these (very) high power plants have met their designer's limit of knowledge and capabilities ?
