Against accidentally dragging items out of the dock.

hmmm... this does seems to take some effort.

If you are using a Trackpad change the preferences to make the trackpad work better for you?

—>System Preferences>Trackpad

—Also in >System Preferences>Accessibility there is a drag feature that may have gotten turned on

Turn on three finger drag for your Mac trackpad - Apple Support

Your can always Command drag apps back in from the Applications folder.

Nope you have to be not be a noob in Mac OS! You can always re-add an Application to the Dock!

Most any application appearing in the Dock can be removed by error or on purpose.

If that should happen, open the Applications folder and Drag the Application icon back into the dock.

This will create a new Alias to the Application to appear in the Dock
