Because the scientist "type" of person solves problems. More specifically, the World's problems. War is 2 politicians that can't get along, like little kids in a sanbox, and get their friends to go smash each other's sandcastles, killing people in the process, usually over money. To the scientist "type", "people" are the biggest unsolvable problem there is; which is why we make great vilans in movies... Which is ironic really...
The moral story behind the movie "Tomorrowland" holds very true. Scientists build something to help fix a problem, and some (insert "banable offense" swear word referring to the colon anatomical part here) goes and screws it up, turning our great invention of solving the world's problem into a weapon. Story of our life...
So, since a large number of us sociopath scientists play this game, a good number of us will get mad at you (to put it lightly) for requesting nukes one more time in this peaceful space exploration game, which is our safe haven that we can entertain our brains on while the world around us goes into chaos.
