B737 autothrottle failure

Based on the link below;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_...es_Flight_3943

“the captain attempted to level off the plane by raising the nose. The plane's autothrottle was engaged for descent, but the crew did not notice that the number 2 power lever was at idle. This led to an asymmetrical power condition.”

How often has this happened on the B737 family? (is a clutch malfunction rare, I realize the Turkish airlines accidents in Amsterdam was based on a faulty rad alt

This accident seems similar to the Taroom A310 one… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAROM_Flight_371

Can this malfunction happen on the never generation of NG/MAX models?
