I standby to be corrected however, I am sure that the test is of a FAN blade detaching NOT a TURBINE DISC breaking up. You are comparing completely different kinds of failure and all the manufacturers only test for FAN blade release damage / containment not turbine disc failure.

So that is the reason there is no outcry.
