The Buddha taught the UNIVERSAL Characteristics of existence and not just the conditioned. Your quotes is evidence enough for me as it's a matter of what you read into the text that makes the difference. Liberation is a dynamic never ending story. Cause and effect will always be present. Nibbana is still dualistic phenomenal thinking. The ineffable can only be experienced.

All is impermanent. And what is the all that is impermanent? The eye is impermanent, visual objects [ruupaa]... eye-consciousness... eye contact [cakku-samphassa]... whatever is felt [vedayita] as pleasant or unpleasant or neither-unpleasant-nor-pleasant, born of eye-contact is impermanent. [Likewise with the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind] (SN 35.43/vol. iv, 28)

All formations are impermanent

Whatever is subject to origination is subject to cessation [nirodha] (MN 56) The Buddha was Enlightened and then died.
