But the most recent incident you've cited is 18 years old. I'd hardly say "they keep falling off and they keep flying them" for that.
For context the Electra, Lockheed's penultimate airliner, lost its wings twice. After that airlines stopped buying it. Meanwhile the FAA put out another wing related AD for the C-130 in 2021.
