When destroying the following containers, the GameRule "doTileDrops" is overlooked when set to false:
Chest
Trapped Chest
Furnace
Dispenser
Dropper
Jukebox
Additionally, all items can be dropped by using the drop key or dragging them from the inventory with this GameRule set to false; perhaps an alternate GameRule "doItemDrops" could be applied here.

When the gamerule doTileDrops is set to false, chests still drop their items after being destroyed by any way including destroying it with fists and turning it into a falling sand entity and destroying it with a half slab

I doubt that inventory contents technically count as "Tile Drops", even though you're breaking a tile (though anything with an inventory is actually a tile entity... which isn't really either, confusingly). So working as intended, most likely, though there perhaps should be a rule that covers these instances.
