Is it me or does that tyre look really worn?

Not really. You can see the TWI and it looks like there is maybe 3mm at least of tread left.

Most likely failed because it was running under inflated. Shows why TPMS is useful.

that's low speed
probably drove few hundred yards like that

even above 70 that tyre would be gone

yes And most of the rear wing, too (BTDT - front wing on a Swedish tank pushed up by several inches on the underside right behind the wheel, big dent underside door caused by tyre tread separation @ 100 mph)

What you can't see is the inside edge of the tyre (where most of the wear occurs due to the neg camber.)
