all my EU/UK macbook plugs I got from apple are always grounded, metal prong and metal side pins
so what I mean is maybe house electricity grid is not grounded.

UK plugs are always grounded because there is no ungrounded version.
But elsewhere you only get grounded plug if you buy extra extension cord for the apple power brick, otherwise it's only ungrounded.

The short version, where you remove the extension with the 3-prong plug and attach the plug directly to the charger brick, is only available in 2-prong in the EU/US (the UK thankfully still gets all 3 prongs in this configuration)
yes true the short one has no grounding.
Anyway as I replied to the other guy (and got downvoted for it) if the plug was grounded there would be no issue. Apple chargers have ground pins.
But sure it's bad if they stopped including grounded versions by default in EU...
