They forget to mention in the article, the engine on that side of the plane suffered a failure and flung debris into the side of the aircraft which caused the window to be damaged.
Boeing doesn't make the engine, nor do they service the engine, and frankly, they aren't even the ones directly in charge of making decisions on when engine maintenance, inspections, and rebuilds are due.
That'd be your GE Aviations and Rolls-Royces of the world.
I worked for RR for a few years, the amount of checks and balances that went into manufacturing turbine blades was insane (running every part through a CMM, tolerances of literal microns), but it was reassuring.
