They can,
In the last 5 years that I've been dabbling with vintage microcomputers
I've repaired at least three where the 6502 processor was the part that had
failed.

I desoldered
the 6502 and stuck it in a working Apple II, and sure
enough the Apple would not run with the 1581's CPU. I installed a
replacement 6502 in the 1581 and I'm happy to report that it now works
properly again! I believe this is the first time I've run into a faulty
CPU in a vintage computer (or peripheral).
Wow, that's bizarre. 6502s don't fail very often.
