Im with you Ekolbreigit.
Its similar to departing an airport where the weather is below minimums for a return. An ETOPS dispatched aircraft (in Australia) requires an airport where weather is forecasted above Adequate dispatch minimums within the ETOPS maximum diversion threshold.
So why would someone become airborne and suffer a critical system failure only to continue to the destination, further than the ETOPS diversion threshold?
Its comparable to getting airborne in Sydney, choosing not to land in Williamstown or Richmond and continuing to Auckland.
