At least in the UK, it's infamously only Earthed if you use the long extension cable (instead of plugging 'wall wart' in directly) that they no longer supply.
> Unearthed two-prong plugs are slightly more convenient here because they fit in more sockets.
That argument doesn't work here, all are 3 pin. It's a conducting third pin too, even though it's NC, which isn't even compliant.
My suspicion is that it's way more noticeable on European voltages (frequency could also be a factor?) so they don't notice in the US and don't care. I have a few products that do it; they're all US companies except one Japanese (slightly lower than US even at 100v, and product primarily sold to US I suspect).
My Framework laptop will shut down if it touches a charging but un-Earthed MacBook.
