Is it weird that this problem only happened to me (add ons all being disabled) roughly 10 minutes ago?

I was browsing fine this morning for maybe four hours and now all my plugins/addons are gone.

The check is done every 24 hours and it seems for you these 24 hours were over roughly 10 minutes ago.

No. That’s not weird. The validity check runs once a day.

No, because the browser only checks for updates to your addons every day or so, not every five seconds.
