Can they reprice and ask for the fare difference if thr ticket wasnt booked through Qatar?
My LAX-DOH flight will have my AA FF number, while the DOH-ATH will have my BA FF number since it was booked with avios.

So my ticket was actually IB LAX to CMN, but since IB canceled those flights, i got AA to switch me to to QR.

Anyone has any recent experience of skipping the last leg with checked bags, I am thinking about skipping my last segment and staying in Doha for a few days, wondering if that is possible and how I should retrieve my bags. The connection at Doha is about 10 hours.

No recent experience, but the pragmatic way to achieve this and not cause a delay for the airline and passengers for the sector you plan to skip would be to be unwell and ask to be offloaded once you are in Doha airport.

AFAIK the circumstances regarding that incident back in 2020 were quite different to what I am suggesting. No airline wishes to transport passengers that present an above average risk of an unscheduled medical diversion, or additional workload/risk for crew or other passengers. Plenty of people present as unwell to gate staff each day and are offloaded usually with minimum fuss and good grace from both sides. YMMV.

IMHO skip lagging should be done in a manner that brings the least amount of attention to what you are doing, so simply not turning up and letting the booking robots do the rest would be my advice... good luck to the OP with which ever route they take (or don't in this case)
