There had been a grounded tail for apple powerbticks back to the era of g4 laptops.

It's still sold, just not included by default anymore (which is fine with me, since I have tons of them)

You can find cheaper than paying the apple tax for that plastic and metal item that has been in production for 20+ years.

Ever seen a short version without a cord? Similar to the standard two prong attachment?

Yes, I have a few 'san francisco special' ungrounded power tails but to my knowledge they were only made during the PowerPC era and did not continue into the Intel era.
e. oh grounded short adapters. I wouldn't go for that due to the wall wort issue. I usually swapped out my apple bricks to grounded tails because it was usually easier to work into whateve ad-hoc power I encountered.
