Why is there even a bare wire? 🤔

Not an electrician or even electrical savvy but it's typical for ground wires to be bare. Its not typical or good or even sane for them to be connected to something which WILL carry electricity.

Usa (and probs some others) use a bare ground wire

Canada is the same

Bare wire for grounding purposes. That's all it's used for.
