I have no idea but I’m just gonna make a guess but a jet engines main purpose is to do its primary job being make the plane fly, so when the engines are being manufactured they focus on efficiency in the engine rather then caring about protecting it from the very odd chance birds fly into it. So once something such as a bird gets into it problems occur as it hasn’t been made with the purpose of being able to function with foreign objects inside of it.
