Detaching easily from the wall socket is a peculiarly US phenomenon. In the UK for example it takes considerable force exactly perpendicular to the socket to remove a plug, and all retail cables are moulded to the plug. So one end is anchored to the wall ans the other is connected to a €3500 laptop...

It would have made more sense to move the Magsafe connector onto the PSU DC output.

I think they are talking about the USB-C connector detaching at the wall, not the power plug detaching.
Exactly ^^
