Warlock because he's intrinsically part and apart from Eternity/Infinity,
so the effect on space-time did not recognize him,
although Thanos could've easily erased Warlock on a personal level.Death because she was overlooked.
This could be a subconscious decision on Thanos' part
because of love for her.
I mean, at the end, he actually got what he always wanted,
Death's affection.Gamora & Atleza were rubbed out with everything else,
I myself didn't understand this until I studied the End meticulously.In an interview, Starlin made it clear, he destroyed the entire Marvel Universe.
Thanos was also bonded to Omni-Reality (Omniverse) giving him acess to all reality,
heck he even stated his consciousness went into realms he never knew existed,
and this is the same Thanos that became the entire 616 Universe TWICE before.
Oblivion was nowhere to be seen in the arc and since thanos was standing arround in nothingness in the end, he was probably still there also, given of his very nature.
