well, based on your story it might be an operator error that created a somewhat messed up sd card. i don't work with apples and sd cards so i'm not sure of the process of unmounting the sd card prior to eject but that might be it. might be the apple screwed the sd card during the process even though the operator followed all steps correctly. could be a whole list of things that you or anyone else will never pinpoint. my question is, why is it such a big deal? obviously you can't figure it out. you stated your wife likes to unplug running pines, that will really screw a sd card. yet, it may not show it until certain things happen. the pine64 does not scan a whole sd card before each boot to mark fubar sector/areas . these cards just work until they don't. when you put an os on an sd card it mostly puts or lays down the os in the same fashion each time. it's entirely possible the sd card is just bad and happens to manifest by not booting an os after working for years. welcome to the world of sd cards.
put the card through a verifier and see what is reported.
