Yes but when one fails you usually have one left. One engine pushing the boat smartly along. Actually I think more than twice as often but the odds of getting home on one's own power are still FAR better.

I don't disagree. But then, at least half the time twins come limping home on one engine, the single-engined boat didn't experience an engine failure.
