Some people are in the habit of unplugging all small appliances after every use. Can someone explain how this can be hazardous?

I would say there is a hazard of touching the plug prongs and getting a shock. I see no need to unplug unless you need the outlet for another purpose..
Some newer appliances tend to be more safe than previous. There have been instances where plugged in toasters and coffee pots have caused house fires due to them “turning themselves on” through a short.
If they accidentally get liquid spilt on them when plugged into a regular wall outlet you risk a shock hazard. Newer building codes require ground fault interrupt outlets to be installed in kitchen locations for this reason. Ground fault receptacles sense the short from the liquid and through a trip circuit in it renders the recpetacle into a short mode that trips a resettable breaker. This stops the flow of electricity to the appliance.
There is no harm in unplugging a small kitchen appliance after each use.
