Default OEM 12V outlets really tight!

Starting to do a little work on the TM and thought I would check in to see if anyone else noticed that their OEM 12 volt outlets (both of them) are extraordinarily tight! It feels like they could pull out of the wall when I disconnect. I have to really brace the outlet cover and carefully pull and twist the plug.

I am going to replace them and probably add a couple more close to the sofa. But were these outlets always this snug? Or has something changed the diameter over the years? Plastic shrinkage, etc? Changes to dimensions of 12V plugs? I have to really force it (and twist) to connect and they are brutal to disconnect.
