You can, but they’re hard to come by where I live at least. I have two, but they’re Mini DP to DP. So haven’t gotten to use them since I was running my 970 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We also have 10-30 cables of each
of the usual lengths in the IT supply room at the office, and they all have the same mechanism, no matter what manufacturer was chosen during purchasing.
And then, once in a while, you come across a screen where the port is rotated 180 degrees so the push is between the plug and the back of the screen and you basically need child labor to unplug it in proper manner.

That ought to be a crime! I would be getting fed up with that pretty quickly and making some improvised modifications to disable the retention clips!
In this situation I typically pull out my Leatherman's knife to depress the clips, but it's definitely not easy
Really? It's been years since I've seen a display port connector with the latches on them.
