Once i removed the tiles all 4 had very minimal thinset adhered to the back.
This showed you the weakest tiles, but this is not the cause of the problem. Over time the concrete slab of the home shrinks, without flexible joints, the compression puts pressure on the tiles till the weakest fail to release the pressure.

This. Also, the wood in the walls expands, creating the same effect.
