The Israelites would not leave Egypt until they had the bones of Joseph, and the Pharaoh endured all of the plagues except the last one until he released them.

Also, why is it that roughly 100 trillion single cell organisms do not consume the incorrupt body of St. Rita?

Mummification embalming fluid that’s how..... bodies were often treated with preservatives as soon as the person died so that the body would be able to be kept for longer for public viewing before burial....Further there is any number of ‘ordinary people’ ,who were not religious,whose bodies were untouched by decay....Buddhist Monks and yogis have also escaped decay.

In China, mummies with European features up to ‘4000 years old’ were found in the Tarim Basin desert 30 years ago. They are so well preserved and preserved much better than many Catholic saints who are mere centuries old that they look as if they are recently dead... Their clothes were remarkably preserved as well. One mummy had an intact goose feather in her hat.

The best ever preserved corpse is that of ‘Xin Zhui’ which was found in China in 1971.... Her death is dated to 178–145 BC......bout 50 at death..... An autopsy found that she seemed to be only a short time dead. They found her organs were intact. Her blood was still red in her veins.
Nobody knows for sure what was responsible for such a remarkable preservation. Her airtight coffin is thought to have contributed to it. A liquid in the coffin in a shade of red may explain the mystery but nobody knows what it is. The bodies of her neighbours Sui Xiaoyuan and Ling Huiping are similarly well preserved.
Xin’s body is kept in the Hunan Provincial Museum. She proves that bodies can be inexplicably preserved without accounting for it with the supernatural.

Finally , there is no such thing as a saint’s corpse that remains the same way for decades, that keeps looking like it just died... ‘All’ of the bodies are unpleasant to look at in their natural state... ‘None’ of them are flexible.... if a corpse looks remarkably good through mummification or whatever this is not incorruption. ...

Mummification is just a form of decomposition or desiccation. The corpse is just decomposing well for its age!
