Why Jupiter has several giant moons but Saturn has only Titan

Jupiter's strong magnetic field in its youth may have provided a safe environment for the formation of multiple large moons. This magnetic field could have protected the moons from the solar wind and other external factors, allowing them to survive and thrive. In contrast, Saturn's lack of a similar protective field may have hindered the development of large moons, leaving Titan as a singular exception. As a result, Jupiter has several giant moons, while Saturn's largest moon is predominantly Titan.
