Diesel aircraft engines and are the light jets pushing out the twins?

True, but the probability of losing all of the engines at the same time
is greater with only two engines as opposed to four.

Not necessarily...

There has never been a historical case of a twin engine jetliner
losing both engines at once due to unrelated failures. All twin
engine failures have been due to a common cause; fuel starvation being
the prime reason.

Here are some examples of related engine failures:

A four engine 747 had all four engines flame out at the same time when
it flew into the ash cloud of Mt. Redoubt in Alaska, and only managed
to restart three of them after losing over 10,000 feet of altitude.

A four engine Airbus A340 made a dead-stick landing at Lajes in the
Azores after running of fuel due to a combination fuel leak and fuel
system management problem.

A 767 (twin) made an emergency landing in Canada on a drag strip after
losing both engines due to a miscalculation during fueling.

The probability of an ETOPS plane losing both engines in a single
flight due to unrelated failures is extremely remote. That doesn't
mean it can never happen, but it is less likely than winning the
lottery.
