This action was done in the past but not so much now. It was a case of the manufacturer installing a grounding pin in their cords while homes were still using two blade receptacles. Prior to new homes having to install a grounding receptacle, homes were wired with only two slot receptacles. These two slot receptacles just had a "hot" and neutral connection for 120 volt output supply and no accommodation for the grounding of the receptacle. The new three pin extension cords would not fit into the two blade receptacles because of the grounding pin so the home owner cut off or pulled the pin out of the plug in end of the cord. Now everything is back to normal with conversions being made from two blade to three blade receptacles. In new home installations for the past fifty years it has been mandatory to use the three blade grounding receptacles.
