Lets have another dig at multihulls
If you had said "Thats why multihulls need heavier rigging" I would agree with you.
A Yacht designer has to take these things into account, thus a multihull designer would know that heavier rigging would be needed to handle the loads, just as the mast people know that you need to use a thicker (thus heavier) mast section for a multihull mast. AFAIK There is no % trend for multihulls to lose their mast more frequently than monos (disregarding racing boats) Assuming that rigging is being checked and replaced at appropriate timings.
