Hell, I’ve even seen people rip them off to fit 3 prong plugs into 2 prong extension cords. I’m sure it’s not safe, but I dont know why and why they would be necessary sometimes and sometimes not.
For a practical example: PCs / NUCs that have only 2 prongs and are connected to the power outlet will sometimes give you a static shock when you touch them. Those with 3 prongs do not because they are constantly grounded.
