They do ship grounded connectors still, but it is underneath the molded plastic piece at the bottom of the box which is hard to get out.

Hmm. Thanks!

As far as I know Apple does not ship a three-iron plug in the USA except when attached to a cord. They do in some places like the UK.

Apple plugs in the UK have three pins because it's necessary to operate the safety slider in UK sockets.

But (for laptops) the earth pin is not connected internally.

(rummages through Apple travel adaptors): holy cow you're right!
