If you're referring to the 'double insulated' designation that allows manufacturers of small

appliances, hand power tools, etc. to use a two-prong power cord, there may well be a cost issue involved, but there may also be other considerations. From what little I know of the subject (mainly observation) these devices often use a non-metallic (nylon, plastic, etc.) case as part of the 'double insulation' process, so perhaps increased RFI would be a potential drawback for audio playback electronics. Though I suppose a work-around could be found...

Anyway, good question.
