Are capsid bugs an issue for all plants?

If I think there are capsid bugs damaging some of my plants, would they be an issue for any plant in my garden?

"Aphids suck plant sap, causing foliage to distort and leaves to drop; honeydew excreted on leaves supports sooty mold growth; and feeding spreads viral diseases. To control these bugs: Wash plants with strong spray of water. Encourage native predators and parasites such as aphid midges, lacewings, and lady beetles"
