Everyone has probably understood that it does not correspond to the state of the art. What impact does this have in practice?
I am a layperson, so it would be nice if it could be explained with simply formulated examples.

The complex matter of lightning and surge protection, which ultimately concerns grounding systems, overwhelms even some electrical specialists, and its necessity—just like that of protective devices—is disputed with the attitude "It worked fine without it before".
If anyone can package the desired simple info into ten lines, I sincerely applaud them without envy. A user described as a rambling blatherer is hardly suitable for the task and better leaves the explanation to experts with more comprehensible pedagogy and didactics.
But if no such authority appears, you have to educate yourself on the relevant chapters in freely downloadable secondary literature such as e.g.
[*]DEHN Lightning Planner,
[*]VdB Lightning Protection Installation Manual,
[*]PDFs from Elektro+, or
[*]free articles in electrical trade magazines de, ep, Voltimum, etc.
If basic concepts, especially earth resistance, equipotential bonding, or voltage gradient, are understood, the question can also be answered independently.
