Engine Mounts started to crack

I went and got my 45k service done yesterday and they said that a couple of my engine mounts were starting to crack, so they replaced them. The total cost of replacing them was almost $800, but it was covered under warranty, so I just paid the cost of the service.

So what exactly causes your engine mounts to just start cracking? I don't have any mods on my car, it's an 03 auto cl-s, and i drive it somewhat hard occasionally (but who doesnt?). So is it just a 'normal' thing that happens with time?

When I had mine replaced I was told that it happens over time, but even more from too much hard acceleration.
