Yes.

If the strike's potential is higher than what the device is designed around, you should expect the device to fail.

Would you think your television design was unacceptable if it fried due to a lightning strike? I can almost guarantee it will die if this happens.

BTW lightning is ESD.

There are boundaries to every design. Just because you hit one of these boundaries does not make a product crap or unacceptable.
