Dude, you are jumping way too far to conclusions. As of this moment they still have not found the aircraft, and all the conjecture of a lightning strike is so far purely from idiots in the news media who want to come up with the cause of the crash right now for ratings. They are only going by the fact that the aircraft sent automated messages that included an electrical problem and since there was mention of the plane possibly flying through a storm they assume that it got struck and that took the plane down.

While it's too early to rule out lightning, I think I would have a better chance of winning the lottery about 5 weeks in a row. The truth is EVERY commercial aircraft in the world gets struck on average once per year.
