Because people are not quite so susceptible to induced charges,

An interesting supposition but not born out by the facts. It takes
100 mA to kill you.


Between 100 and 200 ma is the fatal zone.
But shocks over 200 ma generally are not fatal

Humans have been struck by lightning and survived, sometimes more than
once. Golfers are particularly susceptible, as they often raise their
own lightning conductors into the air.

True, but no new information. Such survival has nothing to do with
"being full of water" and they survive because, despite the huge power
present, they don't take 100 mA of current through their body.
Electricity takes the path of least resistance. Sometimes that tends
to be just under the skin.



Dry skin has far more resistance.
