Kinda like tires. Let them sit long enough with low air pressure they will dry out and take a "set". You can air them up and they may still tear themselves to pieces if you run them.
Your CV boots most likely dried out and aged with one area stretched and the other compressed (due to axle angles) and failed from use.
Since the boots recently failed, you can probably just have them replaced and the axles will be fine.

PS check the date code on those tires, If more than 4 years old consider replacing no matter the tread depth.
