Is there a question in here or merely a rant?

Which screws would that be?
It kinda-sorta sounds like you’re talking about the screws found on some bikes with horizontal dropouts. But those just about never have disc brakes.

Sure, that can happen. Usually doesn’t take much. A bend bad enough to make a really bad sound should be readily visible.

that certainly can happen too. But there’s no realistic way for the condition of the rim to influence the condition of the brake rotor.

Worn bbs can certainly contribute to bearing play. But the usual culprit is water etc getting into the bearing and attacking the bbs. A ”wobble”causing noticeable bearing wear is hugely unlikely.
