> but why would you have such habit even when stationary and the charger is lying around?

Two reasons - One, the charger heats up a lot when I keep it on. Of course, you don't feel it unless you are nearby or touch it. Two, in the past I once had the charger destroyed due to a power surge. The Macbook remained fine after that power surge but I had to replace the charger since it stopped charging after that.

Didn't know that. Thank you. Although, for this to work then, it will go against my habit of switching off the charger as soon as the battery gets charged 100%.

How did you manage to close the lid of your Macbook and still be able to view content on the external display? Is there some setting that I'm missing? When I'm attached to an external monitor and if I close my Macbook lid, the system goes to sleep (am on Macbook Pro M1, 14 inch 2020 model).
