According to Calvinism, all your answers are peripheral - cloud cover - (actually, as I see it, irrelevant) to the ultimate reasons why, which is, simply because God did not choose them…period (cf. WC III: Of God's Eternal Decree). For all intents and purposes, as far as Calvinism is concerned, the first and ultimate cause of the damnation of the “non-elect” is God’s choice to damn them: “…He (has) not decreed anything because He foresaw it as future, or as that which would come to pass upon such conditions”.
The view to which you appear to have an objection is called "Supralapsarianism" (without regard to the Fall), which is a view held by a minority of Calvinists. The majority have held to "Infralapsarianism" (with regard to the Fall).

See here:

- Supralapsarianism and Infralapsarianism, by Herman Bavinck

- Double Predestination, by R.C. Sproul.
