There may be a slightly lower incidence of bag issues on nonstop flights, just because they need to be handled one fewer times when things go right. But the idea that it somehow makes them impossible is silly, as is the idea that anyone in their right mind should subject themselves to a 4-hour WN flight just to avoid the < 1% chance of a lost bag.
