It seems kind of primitive to have power lines just hanging on poles, right?
Bit unsightly too
Is it just a cost issue and is it actually significant when considering the cost of power loss on society (work, hospital, food, etc)?

No, people do not get electrocuted during floods because electrical lines are buried.
Dont argue with me. Go argue with google:
Yes, people can get electrocuted in floodwaters, as both underground and overhead power lines can electrically charge the water. Submerged infrastructure, including transformers and cables, often stays energized, making flooded areas, basements, and debris-filled water extremely dangerous.
