You yourself acknowledge that those who don't follow the ISIS methodology are considered apostates. There are quite a few who would be considered apostates. Christianity underwent their own transformation even though the Bible endorses things like killing disobedient children, enslaving foreigners, and treating women like subservient property. Just because it is explicitly stated in the Quran that doesn't mean it can't be subverted into the modern era the exact same way the Bible was. There are actually predominately Muslim countries that are quite civilized and developed.
I'm not shilling for them, I am just pointing out that it is possible and has already occurred in some places. Unsurprisingly it tends to correlate with education.

Developed, yes.
Civilized? Depends on your definition. All Muslim countries are backassward when it comes to laws. Even in a very moderate Muslim country like Malaysia, you have to convert if you marry a muslim and if a muslim has a kid they must raise it with the mosque or get the child taken away.
