This is a known issue with ungrounded electronics in general. Apple Macbooks are particularly bad because the enclosure is metal and the standard plug (the interchangeable part of the charging brick) that is sold in most parts of the world is not grounded. In my country (in Europe) a Macbook charger is sold with a 'type C', (AKA EuroPlug) which is not grounded. The extended cord that comes with the charger is a 'type F' plug, which is grounded.
