It just seems like a very bad idea that twin-engine planes can fly so far from an air strip. If the #1 engine had failed as well it would have been game over. There's no possibility of gliding a 787 for 2+ hours and hundreds of miles.
You're right, and that's why 787s with Rolls Royce engines had their ETOPS certification reduced from 330 minutes to 140 or 180 depending on which version of the engine the frame has.
