Because players are not affecting it, it is not protected. WAI.

But I think players can affect it too by using a channeling trident.

Yes, players can affect it by using a channeling trident.

That is separately tracked at MC-225175.

Given the resolution of MC-249204, MC-224203, and MC-224867, it is highly likely that this behavior is working as intended despite the assigned "Mojang Priority". This comment from @unknown states that spawn protection is supposed to prevent any kind of player interaction, and since lightning can naturally hit spawn protection, this is most likely intentional behavior.
