Why do Venus Flytraps Die in Good or Fertilised Soil?

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?

It’s not about “good soil” or “bad soil”. It’s about “Does this soil have the correct chemical composition for this plant to survive and thrive”?

Some soil that we would typical describe as “bad” just happens to have the right nutrients and chemicals (and in the right amounts) to support a Venus Flytrap. Most soil we would describe as “good” simply does not.
