why did my rear axle seal go bad?

Tell me if this sums it up about right.
100k miles on original diff fluid the rearend starts to make noise. duh! So I change the diff fluid and the noise stops getting louder. That slow diff leak I had 30k miles later leaves the diff fluid about 1" low. While the diff fluid was low the wheel bearings got excessive wear causing the seal to wear. Now that the leak is fixed I need to replace the seal, and the bearings and the axle shafts that have worn also? Is this what I should expect to find when I break her open?
