This article seems to be a fine example of "perfect is the enemy of good." Could boulders from an asteroid be dangerous? Sure! Would the asteroid they came from be more dangerous? Oh hell yeah.
This is like complaining because when a missile or drone was shot down the debris landed on a car. Basic physics says in any kind of energetic collision there's going to be debris, and basic statistics says that some of that debris has a chance of hitting something that we'd prefer not be damaged. Such is life.
