One addition to what you said: in both the maamarei Chazal that you cited, there is certainly no assumption (at least according to the simple pshat) that even if these statements are meant as a practical guide, that Torah would protect anyone other than the person learning it. The Gemara doesn’t ask, why did ANYONE die early in Doeg’s day; the only question was about him.
