The reason people bringing up Jackson being allowed to leave without dying is because they filmed both scenes, one where he died, and one where he didn't. Yes, they didn't know until filming had wrapped that he was leaving. But they did know, at the very least, contract negotiations weren't going well before it aired, and they could've been all "fine, you don't want the 12 episodes we are offering, we'll use the death scene instead."

But in general I agree.
