I can only speak for myself, but it annoys me because of how much Fallout just perpetuates bad myths about just how bad nuclear stuff is.

Fallout is based on the 50s ideas of what the future and nuclear war would be like. It's intentionally wrong. It has crazy mutants and radiation zombies for a reason. The technology is still vacuum tube computers. The internet and cell phones never existed (even though the nukes happened farther into the future than we are now). They didn't even have color television. You also have weird 50s robots and so on. The way you get poisoned by and treat radiation is also not correct for these same reasons. It's not meant to be realistic at all.
