I'm pretty sure you can just buy various surge protection systems for this, am I wrong?
What if you're out somewhere, do you drive home in a bad storm and unplug it all?

If we're traveling overnight we'll unplug things before leaving, but otherwise, no rushing home out of concern for the TV :)
The device itself usually has shielding, capacitors, transient suppressors, etc… as well as usually designed to make a poor antenna so on it’s own it will be affected much less than when charging
Surge protectors do work, mind you - but only for weaker storms or pulses coming in from the outside power lines. Just by physically being separated from the final device they are limited in how much they can protect from direct coupling
There is also a risk of electrocution when unplugging a device during a storm.
