The only time I had a problem in doing something like that was on a ThinkPad X1 Extreme where I was swapping the screens on em (I had two) and had blown the backlight fuse on one of em because I was stupid enough not to disconnect the battery (easily fixed though). Otherwise, no problems at all.

Pulling the drive out while Windows shuts down is where the most risk lies. I've got many drives and experimented with pulls/swaps, you can swap the drives before post reaches the boot stage if you are restarting a computer with the intent of swapping physical drives, i.e. to avoid letting one Windows drive "see" another Windows drive, or another OS, because W10/W11 will tamper with shared volumes on the same physical disk when doing startup repair. It will reassign drive letters, possibly set the wrong volumes as active, and lose track of bcdboot inside of the Windows folder.

I killed a laptop that way, but I think I might have also scraped one of the components off the mobo when I tried to open it. Not my best moment.

You'd surprised how fragile modern laptops are anon, i haven't had one since 2012 (back then they were bricks) bought one a year ago and everytime i pick it up it feels like it's about to snap in half. Just a cheap plastic.

what even is your problem, zoomer, entire power grid is designed to not break if you plug something in
