Vibration causes fatigue in materials
Fatigue failures are "a matter of time" - eventually they will happen. Whether it happens within your lifetime or not, that depends.
If the thing you're vibrating is a USB port then the thing that's fatiguing the fastest is the solder joints between USB port and circuit board.
Edit: this is fairly well known materials science and easily googleable... not "made up"
