Bani-Israel were preferred over the worlds through God's grace but were not actually chosen like Prophets are. They were selected but not chosen. Chosen (astafa) implies they are special servants of God that God deemed them way higher and way better and chose them in that sense for roles.
Rather they were tried with respect to God's chosen ones, and through disobeying them, they merited God's punishment.
Bani-Israel weren't simply given a book and left to themselves. Allah [swt] appointed leaders who guide by his command among them.
