You did not kill Draconis in human form because it's not possible for the protagonist to do so. He turns to dragon before he dies in all cases, and is immune to instant death spells like Disintegrate. "A dead dragon is a dead dragon"

In this case, a living dragon is not a dead dragon. "Like I said, the game cheats and breaks every rule (except for you; it makes you play by the rules while the NPCs do whatever/whenver the programmer feels like)."

Nope, the game is rather clean. It departs from AD&D 2 rules in some cases because it's a video game, rules need to be adapted. In many cases this benefit the player, who for instance has spells way stronger than AD&D 2 like Spell Immunity, Improved Alacrity, Breach and more. On the other hand NPC, which do occasionally have immunities beyond what players can achieve, have extremely poor and rigid AI. They do not take advantage of game changing spells like Breach, Spell Immunity or Improved Alacrity.

This game is not hard. Draconis is no Dark Soul boss. You're just frustrated because this fight was above your competence, and instead of taking it as a way to rethink your skill and improve, you go on a rant about cheating and player characters being underpowered. It shows that you've got a lot of room to improve from your early combat advice.
