There is no doubt that R1 is entitled to home plate despite the other runner being thrown out before R1 got to home plate.

Because being entitled to advance without being put out doesn't mean you are entitled to a base, just to not be put out during the advancement to the one base when forced.
As we all know a force no longer exist once a trailing runner is retired. And if that retired runner is the third out executed prior to any runner scoring, no run can score.
I'm trying to figure out basis for these interpretations since they contradict given rules.
