Funnily enough, that was one of the major complaints fans made about Fallout 3. For some unfathomable reason Bethesda decided to set it generations after the first two games, yet the Wasteland hasn’t changed at all despite it now being centuries since the bombs fell.
Come to think of it, they did the exact same thing with Skyrim.

To be fair though, it’s only been within the past two hundred years that we’ve seen progress like this. Before that, there really were generations between significant advances.

While I would argue that that’s untrue - societies have had huge shifts over for atleast 4000 years - we’re not neccesarily talking about big societal changes here.
The people in Fallout 4 STILL live in completely wrecked houses. Holes in the ceiling, shattered windows, debris on the floor. Are you telling me no one has cleaned up here in over 200 years?
