Of course this is in relationship to the other section of music, the "verse". If the chorus ends on a somewhat weaker rhythmic position than on beat three, then it probably doesn't make much sense to end the verse an a similarly strong or even stronger position.
Anyway, knowledge about melodic rhythm applies equally to both classical and pop only the melodic lines are longer in classical music.

We all know the terms and we all know the "rules." It's about
how you use them, and we haven't seen you do that, yet. If I write a song and the ending of the chorus doesn't fit the "rule" as you've stated, then am I wrong? Is my chorus bad because of that? Maybe, maybe not. If I've found a way to end my chorus which sounds good and is appropriate to the song, but doesn't fit your "rule," then who's to say my chorus isn't valid?
Anyone who knows the terms can theorize until they turn blue, but we like to see specific examples. And when we talk about specific examples almost every rule has an exception. I like theorizing, but only if we have things to back up our theories. Otherwise it looks like you're just repeating things you heard someone say once.
