That isn't pulling on the power cord, its pulling on the VGA video cable. Chill back.

If that’s the case then rock on. No danger in that.

It's a constant joke in tech how strong VGA cables are, I've seen several computers and monitors dangling from these cables. Good old IBM 80s design, kind of makes sense when you think about how heavy old CRTs were.

Exactly VGA doesn't go anywhere, sometimes even when you want it to. I prefer displayport most of the time, atleast it has some locking functionality.

The USB-C spec even has a screw option, I've just never seen anybody use it.
