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?

Being in a “good” soil wont kill the plant. However being in a soil that has too much of something can cause the plant to suffer from getting too much of that something.
For example, Vitamin A is good for you. But if you eat too much Vitamin A you will die. Having some ammonia is good for the plant, but if you place the plant in a literal can of ammonia, it will die. Its all about balance. If you place Venus Fly trap (or any other plant) into soil that has too much of something that VFT cant handle, it might die.
