With that bad of tread wear, the alignment was bad. Cars go out of alignment over time from the bumps and such. I doubt just a sloppy front end would do that unless it was extremely bad.

My corolla I put 80k miles on the tires with bad inner tie rods but I had the alignment done to 0 (no offset for accounting for road crown, so naturally pulls slightly to the right), and the tread wore just fine. My Tacoma on the other hand I put new tires on and the alignment was way off, I was super busy with work and never had a chance to get the alignment done, 10k miles and the front tires were worn just like the pics above. The front end was tight, just out of alignment.
