We must avoid 'absolutism' here. (As a mere mug punter, with the science/engineering knowledge of a particularly dim goldfish, I've no idea whether such devices are safe or unsafe when used with Class II appliances, whatever they may be).

Ha! I remember in Economics A level classes, possibly the single most boring experience of my life, the teacher, Ted Rudd, used to think he could catch me out by barking a random question at me when he thought I'd dozed off. To his annoyance, I always knew what he'd been saying, even if, to all appearances, I was fast asleep. (Cunningly, I wore tinted glasses, so nobody could tell whether my eyes were open or closed).
Scott Adams, who does the 'Dilbert' cartoons, once described the only two things he could remember about economics, having done a Master's degree in the subject:
a) Something about supply and demand, and
b) It's not actually possible to die of boredom, though you might wish it was.

Hmm. It gets more complicated as it goes along.
^^ what he said! ^^
Engineers: fixing problems you didn't know you had in ways you don't understand.
True, it doesn't necessarily mean the audio signal 0V is connected to ground, but neither does it necessarily imply it is floating with respect to the mains earth. It might be connected to mains earth via a resistor having a low value, say 10 Ohm, as is effected by a "ground lift" option.
