Also, why have humans literally not rebuilt even 1600s level housing, and still live in the open-to-the-air, bombed out ruins from pre-war like a century after it happened? Although that one is probably just Bethesda being lazy.

This is something people take issue with with Bethesda's Fallout. In the first two games, you had multiple thriving towns. In the second game, you even had the NCR which was a full-on state/country.

I don't know enough about radiation to properly argue things there, but Chernobyl was a localized event. Nearly the entirety of the US that we see was bombed. It makes sense that it would fuck up the environment a bit more.
