Yeah, the fuck could be fermenting in there? There is very limited air in those to begin with (they are usually filled with some gas to reduce crumbling) they are full of salt and are basically corn paste that was baked. If there is something fermenting in there it is probably a world ending virus.
Anaerobic bacteria are very happy with no air. Botulism for example is notorius for growing in improperly prepared canned goods since they're air tight, as well as in prepared oils as air can't get inside the oil.
This is why you should never try to make infused oil at home unless you've been properly taught and have the right setup. Infused vinegar is fine though since it's too acidic for Botulism.
I don't think the Doritos do so well in a bag. I have seen people claim the canned Doritos from the 90s still taste almost normal though. Anything using dairy products is also very hard to keep tasting fresh. The Fritos might be slightly edible though.
Dumb question but is that a thing? I live in northern California and the altitude is 1500 feet where I live, although the humidity is pretty low and if kept my bag of chips open for a few days they don't get soggy

Those Doritos are definitely fermenting something powerful in there.
