Why is it hard to remove a honeywell thermostat cover from the wall plate?

The thermostat display doesn’t have screws on it too attached to the base. It is designed to be held by clips and attached by the pins to the wall plate. The pins firmly embed to the contacts and so it’s very hard to pull off the thermostat directly from the wall.
