Suburban sprawl as a nuclear defense strategy is a new one to me lmao
it was a limited consideration in the 50s, but basically bolted on the side of robert-moses-core with the odd rootcellar called "fallout shelter" as a marketing gimic in new developments.
round about 1:07 in everyone's favorite nuclear documentary is an example
That's actually not that new. I think that was part of it.

oh you widened your city 50 miles? i'll just stuff a few extra warheads in this here missile and make sure i saturate the whole thing 🥰
Well sure the the obscene yields do help destroy suburbs, but another reason they exist is to ensure military targets are hit. ICBMs used to be inaccurate by a couple miles, so increasing the blast radius ensured that didn't matter. Now, ICBMs are more accurate and the world generally fields less powerful bombs.
