I think your comment .................. *One could consider a
brownout the opposite of a powersurge, an electrical event in
which a sudden burst of power enters the system. *
makes the most sense

That high current surge means voltage rises slowly. A high current
surge to the utility means a same or lower current startup to you.
Electronics love slowly rising voltages. In fact, some electronics
contain a n inrush current limiter to slow that voltage rise - to
somewhat duplicate a slow voltage rise also seen during a high current
surge.
