That's impressive! Though given the sheer number of 6800 chain sets out there the failure rate must be microscopic still,
Ref Taiwan, are you thinking that lightweight Aluminium chain sets have more of a weakness in countries that are very hot and very wet?

Must be something in glue/bonding method susceptible to failure in wet and hot conditions

But that's impossible! Shimano components are infallible and perfect!
That must be photoshop!

The new crank arm on the right looks good. But the pedal looks like garbage. Does this rider drag the bike for hours every day with the pedal in gravel? How does a pedal get to look like that? Broken crank on left. Breaking the tip of the rank off is not good. But the whole crank arm looks like he dipped it in acid every day for a year and pounded on it with a hammer and roughed it up with a grinder. The chainring looks like it is sort of newish. But the crank arm? No wonder it broke. Despite the broken crank arm, this is a much better picture of bike part abuse and how to destroy bike parts. I would never blame Shimano for this.

The crank arm on the right is the front half of the hollowtech forging. The left hand is the inside/back half of the forging.
You'd need the parts in front of you to work out the actual failure mode.
But, at a guess, I'd put this at shimanos door. Probably a slip up in the forging process .

It's just cosmetic.
