Brady benefitted from all of these rules, and many of them were implemented either before he started playing, or just a few years into his career.

What you just said, along with that list, is agreeing with what I said. I said early 2000s football was still very physical and protections didn’t start coming until later in the 2000s, specifically after Palmer and Brady tore their ACLs.
Only three of those rule changes occurred before the early 2000s and many of those changes occurred after….Palmer and Brady tore their ACLs.
