Two fires were mentioned in OP, 2012-2019. Even if it's 200 that get surfaced, look at the alternative: about 180,000 highway vehicle fires per year in the US. Having a compartment full of leaky flammable fluids and hot exhaust components might tend to do that on occasion.
The bigger story might be the risk/reward tradeoff of those few battery fires vs everyone's charge capacity.
