My surge protector came with a guarantee that the company will pay to
repair or replace any equipment damaged through the powerlines when it was
plugged in to their product.

If you do the sums, it cheaper for them to leave out the surge
suppressor components altogether and just pay up on any such incident.
Power line surges (in the UK at least) is a vanishingly insignificant
source of damage.
