Here the topic was flight in SAF which I think is a cool initiative, by whomever and regardless of the aircraft type..
The difference in the examples you use is:
The actual reason for the S92 gearbox failure was identified and fixed - also if you were flying an S92, still fitted with Ti filter studs, and they failed, you should be able to avert disaster by landing/ditching immediately.
Airbus admit they do not know why the gearbox failed in an unsurvivable way. They identified some potential causes and took steps to mitigate these causes. If the failure occurs again - everyone dies, and it’s “back to the drawing board” for further fixes.
