Supported myself during college at the local TV station ... very late
1950's. Station was on a ridge, we got lots of lightning strikes on our
tower. The grounding ["earthing"] of the entire station was super
extensive. We still occasionally lost equipment, mostly the smaller
uwave equipment outside, despite the grounding. Direct lightning
strikes are so intense and large. Lightning is also an RF event. What
happens in a near but safe place can create very large currents in
nearby conductors.

Probably a great device, but why would Elecraft risk infringing someone else’s
patent and increasing the price of the K4 by an extra $100, rather than letting
the individual decide if they need and buy their own?

I am not an engineer and I don't know anything about electronics either,
but I am very receptive to the solutions that many radio friends give me.
which made me think if the kpa1500 or k4 usb was built with something like
this,

it might be beneficial or not, just thinking out loud
