You're kidding right? If not, why not try googling "light switch" and do
a couple days worth of reading. The switch is grounded for the same reason
anything else is grounded. so if it shorts to the frame, YOU DON'T FRY.

Again, do you have a link to a picture of a modern light switch that does
NOT have a ground screw on it?

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?
