Well, if you take an enemy nuclear strike as given, then yes, I guess it does? But the general consensus is that nuclear bombs hitting your country at all is bad and most strategists try and optimise to avoid it happening altogether, rather than assume it's going to happen and try to make it less unpleasant.
It's fairly clear that the optimal thing to do once your enemy has launched a single nuke at you is surrender unconditionally rather than retaliate, but we would probably not prefer to live in a world where launching nukes was seen as a good way to win a negotiation, so we try our best to discourage it.
