As a loving parent of two surviving former toddlers, I have to say that the
choking hazards are said infants, who will attempt to place any object that
will fit, into their mouths. It's your job to stop 'em doing it (you hope).
If your MD deck is in reach, expect to find unusual objects posted into the
disk slot. I think it's valid to argue that toys and other stuff designed
for little people should not have small bits that come off and choke the
little darlings, but I don't think this extends to domestic electronics.

The plugs keep out dust, which might later end up in the signal path. The
dust MIGHT stop the optical link working, in which case you would need to
clean it out with a Q-tip.
