As it seems they intended only a short transit, I doubt anyone would have been let off.
Once pax are let out and allowed to roam the terminal, getting the a/c flying will take more time, exacerbating the delays.

I wonder though if a QF WP with hand baggage only (i.e. me) asked to be let off whether or not they would let you. I think if they actaully had an aerobridge to the terminal the answer would be yes. As the crew went out of hours, this is likely .....

IIRC when luggage has misconnected it is subject to a higher level of security screening before it is allowed onto another flight.

Basically, when the passenger has control over the process which results in the luggage being on a different flight, then the luggage has to proceed as unaccompanied luggage, with all that that entails.
When the passenger has no control over the process - such as airline mishandling, missed connections, etc., then it is okay for luggage to be on a different flight.
Failing to board is a process which the passenger has control over, so the bags therefore have to come off.

Unlikely. Refer all the USA to SYD diversions to BNE (or CBR or ...). Pax stay onboard including those who have as a final destination the airport they have diverted to.
