Stunning how one pack fails rapidly while others don't seem to deteriorate at all over 300,000 miles or so...
I don't find it odd at all. The defective pack likely had a manufacturing defect. If it was serviceable assembly the Tesla shop could have diagnosed the problem and then repaired the pack. Since Tesla glues their packs together the whole pack had to be replaced.
