Your poll should include those who have no whole house surge protection, which I think is more than half of the houses. At least it is in my neighborhood.
Also, your assumption that everyone has point-of-use surge protection may not be correct, because a lot of people assume that all power strips are surge protectors, which is not correct.
I would also add that, just because an electronic device stops working doesn't mean that it was caused by a power surge. Very often, there is no way to determine if the damage was caused by a power surge.
