Ideally... one should always use care and firmly grasp the connector's body or shell and pull out after releasing any locking mechanism's.

Of course, I live in the real world where I know that doesn't always happen that way.

As an electrician, I cringe when I see people grab a cord 3 feet out and yank the plug out of the wall..... would I ever do that? I'll just leave that one right there.......

I saw a guy do that to a guitar amp guitar cord...... wanted to unplug from the amp so he just grabbed the cord and gave it a stiff quick pull.... the jack didn't pop loose like he imagined.... it was at an angle so it didn't come free..... it sure was funny though when the amp stack toppled over on the stage... "TIMBERRRRRRR" ..... I'll bet he takes the time from now on to walk to the amp and pull that cord out carefully.
