Would a UPS protect against that either, though?

No. Current will find a way. Lightning will destroy things you didn’t even think would be possible to destroy.
So I'm still left with int0x29's original question: "Isn't this [an electricity spike that a UPS could protect against] what a surge protector is for?"
