FIRST, let's make this straight. For cards with an effect such as "This card on the field cannot be destroyed by card effects", if you as the opponent use an effect that destroys a card on them, the destruction of that card would not happen in any scenario. Let's call this "Situation 1".

Now, for effects such as "If this card would be destroyed, you may... If you do, this card remains on the field", the destruction happened. A card that is destroyed have to be sent to the drop zone as per the game mechanic. BUT, you use an effect to make that card remain on the field aka defying the game mechanic. This is "Situation 2".

And Titanbeetle prevents "Situation 2". That's it. Targets or not are irrelevant.
