I did't find any explanation why darkspawn Taint affects only plot-relative characters in plot-relative encounters in plot-relative time. Did you?
At first I thought that be an amulet given by Flemeth that would protect Hawke and his companions, but we all know what happened with it.

The taint is a drama reactive substance. Like the slime from Ghostbusters 2, but instead of responding to music, it dances to angst.

Artistic license.

The Taint doesn't have a hundred percent infection rate. It has, it HAS to get in your blood, transfered by blood. In other words, if you don't share a crack needle with a Ghoul or a Darkspawn, you will be safe. I think Carver might have picked up a dirty needle in the Deep Roads, and Bethany just had bad luck.

The Taint is arguably one of the BIG FAILS in the DA universe to be honest. It could have been so much more but it isn't. The Warden's told by more than one NPC that just fighting a darkspawn is dangerous because of the blood/taint problem and only Grey Wardens are immune to it but the Warden's party kills hundreds of the critters and not once do any of them succumb to infection. (Ditto the werewolve plot as well for that matter; would have been much better if either the Warden or one of their companions had gotten infected following a fight with the werewolves so there was an even greater incentive to find a cure.) But no; you can fight a thousand darkspawn as a non-GW and never get infected unless the plot suddenly calls for it; consequently there's never any sense of danger for anyone in going toe-to-two with a Genlock or three. Arguably the game mechanics/narrative mitigated against implementing the Taint as it really ought to have been because in DAO there's no GWs to save an infected companion after Ostagar.
