The pressure inside the vacuum hose is lower than the pressure outside the hose. If the hose is old and weakened, it'll fold up on itself. If the pressure difference is bigger than the hose is expected to be able to deal with(by some other reason) the hose will collapse too.

If someone has replaced a real vacuum hose with, say a fuel hose, that too can be a reason.

What causes radiator hoses to collapse?

Radiator hoses can collapse due to a restriction in the cooling system, such as a blocked radiator or thermostat. This restriction causes a vacuum to form in the hoses, leading them to collapse under the pressure difference. Additionally, weakened or deteriorating hoses can also collapse over time due to the force of the coolant flowing through them.
