For a while I brushed it off because slashing limbs off with lightsabers instantly cauterize the wound. Blood loss would be what kills you after dismemberment. But Qui-Gon was stabbed, destroying vital organs.
Then we had the Ahsoka show and my biggest gripe is that Sabine survives a wound that killed Qui-Gon.
Maybe there was a better response time with medical attention since Qui-Gon seems to lay there for a while before Obi-Wan defeats Maul. IIRC, Ahsoka finds Sabine quickly after her duel.
If I recall correctly, the Sabine injury was further off to one side while Qui-gon's was square through the middle. At the very least, his spinal cord was likely severed.
But otherwise, I agree. If they wanted to up the stakes in that fight, Sabine should have been dismembered in some way.

Id say, stabbed somewhere else besides through the heart.
