I mean yes but also all of the Original Six Avengers survived as well, and pretty much every Guardian except Rocket got dusted. Someone on reddit mentioned that not only is it possible for large groups of related people (like the movie heroes and their supporting casts or the TV heroes and their supporting casts) to be spared/dusted en masse, it's also exactly what would happen in real life. They linked to a Wikipedia page but I can't remember the name of it. I think it was called the Law of Large Numbers or something like that?

But there actually is a probability-based reason for why the TV side would remain completely unaffected for seasons at a time while the movie side was crippled between movies.
