the shaft was cut why the drive wasn't cut uts less streng
That's a pretty bad break!
There's way more torque on the side shafts than drive shafts. Even though the drive shaft may look weaker, it has mechanical advantage on the side shaft. 4.88 advantage in this case. It's also stronger geometrically as it's larger in diameter than the side shafts.
Without knowing how you broke it, is it possible it wasn't seated completely? I can't recall another time I've heard of one breaking this. Though 35s and lockers do cause a log more leverage and stress on drive train components.
