Definitely. In the short term, they often bridge connections inside of the power supply causing it to fail. Long term, they may cause corrosion to components on the motherboard due to the waste that they produce.
As far as I know, there is a certain defect rate in the manufacturing process. Temperature changes and physical stress like shock from movement may speed up the failure. Long story short, there are just a certain percentage of capacitors in use out there that will fail earlier than expected. Ceramic capacitors are very cheap to produce but unfortunately since they fail "closed" they often create a short to ground which prevents the device from working at all.

Yes. That is normal for that kind of repair not to show an image right away, but in some cases it will show right away.
Same issue i wish i can fix and diagnosed my motherboard like u did
Can roaches harm the console?

They can literally be the death of any electronics
What causes these caps to blow its not like their old
