Nuclear weapons also just "burn" people. They are not used specifically for their fallout either. What's the problem?
The problem is that nuclear weapons cause too much "collateral damage". As in, not only did the military base cease to exist, but the hospital and schools around it are gone, too. Don't forget the orphanage, the retirement home, and the church/synagogue/mosque/etc.
