It is not permitted for passenger and bag to knowingly not be on the same flight - this is not new and not some EK special thing but a standard safety requirement
As far as misdirected bags etc, that is a different situation and they go through additional screenings to iirc
As far as running to a gate after being informed that due to delay had been offloaded, not surprising that found was unable to board due to having been offloaded
