I'm pretty sure that the resolution of this ticket should be reconsidered and resolved as "Working As Intended".
This comment by [Mojang] Gnembon made on MC-249204 states that:
spawn protection is about player interactions. Sheep can get hungry and eat grass, same sheep can die and spread sculk.

That is separately tracked at MC-225175.
Given the resolution of MC-249204, MC-224203, and MC-224867, it is highly likely that this behavior is working as intended despite the assigned "Mojang Priority". This comment from [Mojang] Gnembon states that spawn protection is supposed to prevent any kind of player interaction, and since lightning can naturally hit spawn protection, this is most likely intentional behavior.

Awesome, no worries, that's fine.
Would this mean that
MC-224203andMC-224867are also intended then?
