Default Ground on Light switch?

do you have a link to a picture of a light switch that does NOT have a

I must be missing something here, because neither have I ever seen a light
switch with a ground terminal on it, nor can I see the utility in having
a ground terminal on a light switch. But here's a link to instructions on
how to wire a light switch, and said instructions don't show any ground
terminals in play.

Now, as to whether the metal frame part of the switch should be grounded
by contact with a grounded box, that's different. But I don't consider
the part of the frame that mounts into a box to be a terminal.

What am I missing here?
