Absolutely agree it is of little value in a lightning strike but that is the way it was being installed in the past. If you have a lightning protection system it will be grounded at the manifold and the meter.

FYI/If I understand correctly, the manufacturer of CCST is recommending consideration LPS in lightening prone areas?
Depending upon conditions specific to the location of the structure in which the Gastite system is being installed, including but not limited to whether the area is prone to lightning, the owner of the structure should consider whether a lightning protection system is necessary or appropriate.
It also appears the Arc-resistant CSST used South of 44 with a black outer “arc-resistant” jacket probably don’t need any special bonding.
Bonding CSST - Structure Tech Home Inspections
310.3 Arc-resistant CSST.
This section applies to corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) that is listed with an arcresistant jacket or coating system in accordance with ANSI LC 1/CSA 6.26. The CSST shall be electrically continuous and bonded to an effective ground fault current path.
Where any CSST component of a piping system does not have an arc-resistant jacket or coating system, the bonding requirements of Section 310.2 shall apply.
Arc-resistant-jacketed CSST shall be considered to be bonded where it is connected to an appliance that is connected to the appliance grounding conductor of the circuit that supplies that appliance.
