And there's a third reason and set of requirements for grounding which
is different from both of those -- AC safety ground. Its requirements
are dictated by the NEC and local electrical codes, and it shouldn't be
confused with either of the other two.

Is there such a thing as a ground that is good for both AC safety ground
and lightning protection ... or, both of those plus RF ground?

Sure. One way to do it is to make a proper AC safety ground, a good
lightning ground, and an effective RF ground, then bond them all
together (provided it's permitted by code).
