Now I wonder if a piezo beeper would be more plausible or less plausible to blow?

  PC Speakers commonly are piezo beepers, but that's probably "recent".

    Well yes, but peizo beepers were much less common when the PC speaker was commonly used for games, or just as the main sound output.

  piezo beepers typically have a resonance frequency where they are much louder. Run it at that frequency for too long and the pizeoelectric coating delaminates from the metal disc of the speaker, leading to failure. So, yes, you can probably blow them from software if you're willing to have it turned on for a few days continuously.

    I wonder if moving iron beepers would have the same issue. Either way, seems like a lot of effort.
