It's not the atmosphere they would be unprepared for, it's the instability of the storms in the atmosphere that would be problematic. Lightning discharge is so random and fast it may be too unpredictable to avoid. The lore of these crashed vehicles is usually around some type of storm or weather system where there is lightning. The theory being that a craft that runs on electromagnetic drive technology may suffer a critical power outage if struck in a storm. So not a hot take, just a possible danger that could lead to a catastrophic failure.
