The US still has some millions of homes built back before the extra redundant earth ground became code. All those homes use power cords, and everything else, with no extra redundant earth ground. Just like with all those homes, there's a slew of power cords that don't have the extra redundant earth ground and people are using them perfectly fine. I've got two of them going to my Dayton sub amps.
