It has a lot to do with fleet size I would imagine. Back in the 80s, theTornado GR1 fleet was probably bigger than the total active fast jet fleet today - and you had Harrier, Jaguar, Phantom and Buccaneer on top of that!
I don't know of the % accident rate is any different, but the perception would be that it is.
I think the OP is a little wrong regarding not losing a Typhoon yet - just not perhaps in a fatal crash/low level accident sort of a way.

And there was a T that scraped it's nose along the runway at Conningsby.
