I suspect the last US incident you refer to was as a result of a cause not within the boundaries of the OEM to control, so hardly the OEM or platform to blame
In fact it is a very good example of the perils of operating an aircraft that was certified to old rules.

The aftermarket windshield was only designed to early 1970s bird strike standards and that is why the accident happened. Things would be different on an AB139 (for example).
