Home Inspection finds plug in soil stack left by plumber after pressure test

I came across this on three home inspections this month. Plumbers pressure check the plumbing system for leaks prior to turning the water on in new construction. As you can see, there is a yellow plug in the soils stack.  Sometimes they forget to remove the soil stack plugs. One of the homes I found this on was 3 years old. Wonder if the previous owners ever has problems with drains draining?
