The USAAF killed more japanese in one firebombing raid than both of their nukes did combined, so for me its weird that you point out the use of nukes as something terrible when they were regularly doing worse.
I guess because it's something that can't be immediately pointed out as something others did too.
Probably because the Japanese were already in the process of negotiating surrender before any nukes were dropped.
