and if this is the design, why provide a 2-prong plug?
-
for countries that don't have ground pins on their wall sockets.

And they're harder to plug in blindly (under tables, behind furniture, etc.).

modern laptops often aren't grounded. Design flaw, esp. if built for a set of regulations & used elsewhere
