Purely conjecture on my part, but it may be that today's higher efficiency engines are also a bit more prone to compressor stall/surge.

Consider this:
Together, United and United Express operate approximately 4,900 flights a day to 356 airports across five continents. In 2018, United and United Express operated more than 1.7 million flights carrying more than 158 million customers.
OOPS...just found statistics for 2019. Sounds about the same....just a few more passengers....
Together, United and United Express operate approximately 4,900 flights a day to 362 airports across six continents. In 2019, United and United Express operated more than 1.7 million flights carrying more than 162 million customers.
