Buying crystals from aliexpress sounds like a terrible idea.
As i said before, choose your battles.

And why do you think buzzers will be any different? Also SMT piezo buzzer is not nearly $2 at digikey unless you want to go for expensive option. And here you go, almost as cheap as your $3 for 10 and has datasheet (BTW there are actually none on aliexpress that match your description) https://lcsc.com/product-detail/Buzzers_KELIKING-KLJ-1625_C201041.html

Mainly because crystal are a precision part. If the frequency/stability is off your product may have serious problems.
but if the piezo beeper frequency is a little off, or a little quieter than normal, it's not usually a problem.
If a crystal fails your product stops dead, if a beeper fails your product just doesn't beep any more.
The piezo beeper was just an example i ran into 3 years ago
This was the style/footprint of the buzzer i was ordering

I dont think LCSC exited back then, or if it did i didnt know about it.

Frequency stability was not a problem. They were mechanically damaged internally. Conductive adhesive between crystal and package broke.

Learned my lesson years ago with ebay and/or Chinese parts.
Always buy from Farnell or RS Components now.
