Yeah it’s headcanon, but the scenes are intercut and as Anakin dies and she gives birth they both “die” at the same time and it’s visually linked. So something is going on they can’t explain, like a love/death curse, and the med droid just gives some kind of guess. That’s why it never bothered me and I don’t see it as a trope.

Thin and hand-wavey, but I guess that’s where we get the term from.
