You've never seen a toaster with a two prong cord? That's all they come with. Toasters don't require, or come with, a three prong plug because they're double insulated. Oh and it's impossible to get electrocuted by putting a mental object in the toaster( ie: metal fork). A little education goes a long way in today's world.

Toasters are expected to be plugged into a GFCI "small appliance
circuit". There is a great amount of safety because of that.
If NOT plugged into a GFCI you CAN get an awfull nasty shock if you
stick a knife into a toaster when thebasket is down (toaster on)
They have a POLARIZED plug co the case side is ALWAYS at ground
potential if plugged into a "properly wired" outlet.
