I have always suspected window operation as the culprit.
I am always alone in my truck and the drivers window is operated 90% more than the passenger window. Hence the drivers door has the crack and the passengerside does not.

I quoted one of the few 2000 models to still report, "no cracks" this late in the game.

Notice it's an XL which means no power windows and it's a Florida truck so the AC is in operation nearly 365 days.

Referring to the service bulletin below, it appears that one of the only fixes is to weld a piece of metal onto the door sheet metal on the inside.

I have a '99 F-150 Super Cab, 2WD, 5.4L, and there is a crack about 3/8" long on the drivers side door
