Isn't that a feature, since it allows while in use charging?

You can unstick it with one hand easily because you’re normally using something like a vertical stand or a mat that’s heavy enough. You just have to lift the phone from the bottom or top rather than the middle.

It doesn't stick strongly enough that you can't push it off with your fingers-- easier to do that one-handed than unplugging a Lightning or USB-C cable.
With a heavier Magsafe charger (like most of the stands out there), you can just lift the phone off and the charger won't come with it. MagSafe's just strong enough to hold a phone on a stand or hold a charger puck to the phone, but not much more.

I pick up my iPhone on a MagSafe charger with one hand all the time. As I pick it up I just use a finger to slide the MagSafe puck sideways and it releases. Not a big deal at all.
wouldn't that mean if you take your phone, the charger still sticks to it?
when I was using qi, I'd have it on my desk, and of course I regularly pick up my phone with one hand to do something with it or take it with me, can't un-stick a charger at the same time with one hand...
