I don't think threre's anything particularly anti-Boeing about this.

When ETOPS first came about, the industry set about demonstrating how 2 engined aeroplanes could reliably operate across the wilderness without compromise.

We now have a new aeroplane type that appears to have a predisposition to fire to such an extent that the aircraft could be quickly compromised.

Given its intended market, I believe that is genuine cause for concern.
