Everything comes off if you yank on it hard enough. Even the fingers on your hand. That's not how great UX or environmentally friendly repairability works though.
>I think this is mixed messaging to be honest.
Regardless what it is, it's Apple's fault here. They claim it's officially not user replaceable. Good luck with a warranty claim if you yank on it and break something, as Apple's position is clear: You're not supposed to remove it yourself.
And how about Apple's famous "we care about our CO2 emissions so much, we removed the iPhone charger to save the environment", if now you're saying you should make CO2 emissions and drive your monitor to the Apple store to replace a friggin power cord that can be done at home on any other monitor on the planet.
