I understand their normal conditions are in poor soil, which is why the flytrap, but why would good soil outright kill them instead of them ignoring it or maybe just doing slightly better?

I have been cloning and breeding fly traps for almost 5 years now. The “good soil” causing harm, is pretty much a myth. A Venus fly trap would never have to catch an insect and digest it to remain healthy, but it always will close and eat whatever it can.
All it needs is soil and light. The only real difference I have found is that plants in poor soil are usually red, and the ones that are green are in a healthy plant environment, receiving their nutrients from photosynthesis.
If they put up a pistil, they are healthy.
