A properly made soldered connection is as strong, or even stronger,

So the wire could be the weakest link, especially with well-soldered
connectors.

A simple yanking of the plug by the wire
should have no effect -- unless it's a cheap Chinese shit plug.

I should actually take apart the defective plug to see what junk
is inside, but that would entail carving away the plastic jacket
that is bonded to the metal beneath, and that is a big job.  I'd
need to clamp it in a vise and just whittle away.  I could burn it
off but that would leave charred ash everywhere.

No.  I have made soldered audio plugs properly using shielded cable
and quality plugs and they have NEVER failed and they NEVER will fail.

The question is why can't cable manufacturers do the same?
