What I mean by that is, obviously the guitars and other instruments are not plugged in, but the drums don’t have that option. So why can we not hear that the drums are actually live? Hopefully that makes sense what I am asking.

I think the true answer is they just don’t record the audio from the stage.
TV cameras don’t have audio recording. Anything ever heard on TV or in a movie has been separately recorded using a microphone. Electric instruments don’t need a microphone, they plug into the recording system directly. But drums and vocals need microphones to pick up their noise. Simply don’t turn on the microphones recording the drums/vocalist and play a track over them.
If we are talking about live performances in front of an audience, like SNL or something. The band usually does play during that time and the vocalist is the only one pretending. This is done for lots of reasons, fatigue being a big one. But most bands don’t get opportunities to play on TV and will do so without lip syncing.
