Clickbait.

The B777 is probably the safest, most meticulously engineered commercial wide-body aircraft ever built.

They're also getting old, and airlines retire old aircraft.

These are the exact points written in the article.

They also substantiate the idea that the United 777-200 fleet does face an uncertain future.

Entirely true, and also quite underwhelming compared to an engine failure.

Personally I'd be a lot more interested in the cause(s) of the failure and how it was handled.

Sure, but the headline makes you think this incident caused the uncertain future. It’s definitely clickbait
