I'm not sure that many engines could handle this combination, so best to reduce the occurrence rate in some manner.

I don't recall anything similar in combination since
Many years ago at SNA airport a Delta 757 sustained multiple bird strikes from seagulls right at rotation. One engine quit right away and the other would have failed shortly after however the Captain chose to abort the takeoff despite having rotated and being well past V1 on a 5700 foot runway. His decision to abort after V1 saved everyone’s life on the aircraft even though all training manuals said continue. It’s a testament to the 757 that the aircraft stopped on the runway.
