What is it with Ford? Are these flukes? Are Ford's garbage? Company poorly run?

Not sure what "shortcomings", you're talking about with the 5.4L,they're an incredibly reliable engine. They routinely run 500K+ miles with little more than routine maintenance.
As far as the 6.0 diesel goes, they were built by International. The failure of the 6.0 is a large part of the reason that Ford dumped International and now builds their own diesel engines.
The 6.0 can be made "bulletproof" but it costs a good bit of money and some of the things involved aren't exactly legal. (tampering with emissions systems)
