A month ago I needed 2 wall outlets. I purchased 5 from the local hardware.
I discovered none of them had grounds on them. I threw them in the garbage.
Several days ago my son asked me to do free wiring for his new room addition.
I gave him a material list (without thinking).
Sure enough he too came home with non-grounded outlets.
I am not an electrician, but I haven't seen ungrounded outlets since the 60s.
I had to go to a different store to purchase what was needed.
When I got home I checked the code. Ungrounded outlets were outlawed in 1962!

I was right in my initial impression of them - the hardware company cannot get product.
Welcome to a new world.
