Incredible as it sounds, the end goal is to end all human civilization.
Nuclear deterrence is built on the idea that if I don't get to live, nobody gets to live.
The leaders of the nuclear powers decided it would be better for all humanity to die than for a nuclear power to be striked.

Everyone has skin in the game, so there's large incentives to encourage your allies to back off or even sabotage or turn on them should you believe they are going to risk it. Everyone and everyone is playing the game, not just the superpowers.

If the end goal would be to end civilisation you would just shoot, and shoot now. Easy. All the complications is because you want to live. 'Dying is easy, young man. Living is harder' to quote from Hamilton the musical. :)
