Could you explain your question please?
Why would you continue flying away from the airfield you took off from on one engine?

The ETOPS distance is a set number, which is part of the ETOPS certification.
For instance, in my company for the B777 it is 400 NM.

So 180 ETOPS is maximum 1200 NM from an adequate airport.
