How does a panel fail this bad?

It's been our everyday tv for the past 7 years. It's a Toshiba Regza
It's taken about a year to get to this state. No question a bad panel so I'll have a nice donar. Believe it or not, it started as pin hole spot and has grown slowly and seems to be spreading like a cars windshield crack.

Just a matter of how much longer I can stand it before buying a new set 😆

Ive had similar, unsure if the foils in the panel part due to age then cause black spots unsure.
