Or it is a mechanical fault due to a package/die bond wire becoming an open
circuit.
This could happen to where the wire joins to either the package or the die pad,
or
a wire that was fused due to excess current. Hard to tell unless you decap the
package.

Becaise they have diodes to gnd/vcc. And the common failure of a diode is a
rupture of the barrier and so, it gets shorted. So the gate is shorted to
ground or vcc

In my experience, this is the case with a lot of 4000-series CMOS. Don't
exactly understand why.
