Because of the way the cable stretched slowly over time.

If your cable stretched would mean you would gain "free-play" at the pedal. The transmission would be harder to shift because the clutch wouldn't release enough to keep from grinding the gears.

I just like to know what causes things to happen to see if I can prevent it happening again.

Seems like you would need to be sure the rest of the components match the new clutch
