The nukes aren't that powerful, even with the peak stockpile during the Cold War can't destroy Earth's entire living population.
Today's nukes are primarily used to bomb its opponent back into the stone age.
It's more on the terms of sheer quantity of quality, methinks. Russia and China are really the only nations that field high megatonnage nukes, and even they are starting to phase them out. In the future, yes, the only purpose for nuclear weapons would not be for MAD, but rather a small, precise tool to deliver high damage to specific targets, at minimal risk to everything else.
