Everything on a commercial airline has a backup.

More than 1 engine = go faster than with just 1 engine. It's quite simple, really. Not sure how you don't understand this

1 engine = 1 fast
2 engine = 2 fast
It's perfectly rational.

commercial airlines don't care about speed. There is also a legal cap on air speed.
Faster doesn't just mean two engines. You have to also reinforce it's hull

Slow = less fuel consumption and cheaper materials. A single engine can easily get you to 500mph whilst sipping fuel.

Irrelevant. The use case for having more engines on an an aircraft is having more speed. Fly away, troll.

Their customers do. The ones that prefer cheap over fast have time that is worth nothing. Might as well travel steerage on an ocean liner.

Over the USA. In other places, no.

No, it's the second segment climb performance when you lose an engine at V1.

Piper might've been unsuccessful (in fairness, so were Diamond and Eclipse), but Cirrus and Flaris managed to make monojets a reality.
