It doesn't always take a massive shear force to snap. It could have seen lower loads that sometimes result in high cycle fatigue. But this could only happen if there was movement in the assembly. Properly fastened, the bolt acts as a clamp and the assembly should not see movement.
We can conjecture all we want. I can give a long list of maybes. Only a proper forensic analysis would tell us what happened.
