It does seem that there have been more of these lately - is this just more drama reporting, or is something else going on - aging engines maybe? 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.
I don't know it as fact, however.

The newest Boeing planes are all showing signs of shoddiness.

Seems to be a lot of mechanical troubles with planes this month.This has been predicted by Boeing whistleblowers of change in manufacturing culture and an increase in self-regulating practices. Issues are not just limited to the MAX planes unfortunately. :(

Where did the wing see the fire?
How good is that wing’s eye sight?
Does that wing have any history of visual hallucinations?

The newest Boeing planes are all showing signs of shoddiness. Why would you post that on a thread about a plane that has been out of production for over thirteen years?
Why would you post that on a thread about a plane with an engine problem? Boeing doesn't build engines.

Drama reporting....
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....
