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)?

it’s about cost. They’re more expensive to bury and to maintain.
And it’s not that helpful in storms either because even if the lines near your house are burred, they’re still connected to the above ground stuff that runs along roads, rural areas, and the big transmission lines themselves.
