Electronics, and especially consumer electronics , is made such that as a side benefit, it is very vibration resistant. At least the IC's are made that way. The PCB's and ancillary mounting of these boards is somewhat to very much not vibration proof. However, the assemblies of the IC's onto the PCB's are also VERY intolerant to moisture. I mean VERY. So, yes, you win somewhat on the vibration side, but not so on the moisture side.
