Having your house or business wired to code makes sense. It is a safety issue. People should have their houses checked out or check them out to make sure they are safe and to code.
Using an ungrounded plug CAN present a safety issue for the user. If you've ever been hit with voltage as you leaned into a microphone (I have) it is a singularly unpleasant experience. If all circuits are properly wired and grounded as are your amps you greatly reduce the opportunity to be killed by electricity (or be shocked)
If your house is wired correctly and you still use a two prong plug or defeat the ground, you are increasing the likelihood of being electrocuted. Installing a three prong plug is one step in avoiding that. It won't fix a building that is wired substandardly, but it will help you in a building that is wired correctly.
