This is not my understanding by reading the article. The blade failure will destroy the plane if developed independently of the rest. So modern nacelles will contain the blast as you say but they have decades of integration testing together with the blades in all kind of conditions.

if you develop everything anew there will be mismatches in tolerances and thousands of potential individual failure risks that can be combined in interesting, unexpected and fatal ways.
