A few random thoughts:
The Doom specifically applies to the House of Feanor and those who follow them.
"On the House of Feanor the wrath of the Valar lieth from the West unto the uttermost East, and upon all that will follow them it shall be laid also ."
The greater part of the Noldor (non-Feanorians) were presumably affected because they wouldn't turn back and allied themselves with the Feanorians.
Doriath and the green elves seem to be part of the curse but their ills might have been at least as great had the Noldor not come. Recall Morgoths offensive as they were entering Beleriand. And Cirdan would have been swiftly driven from Eglarest and Brithombar.
