All our GDP is in software. We don't know how to make anything except AI and web apps. We wouldn't know what to do with a nuke.
Hollywood is still a thing. Manufacturing, yes manufacturing. Agriculture. The Bay Area is a fraction of that GDP, and a small geographical part of California.
The disproportionate power relative to its economic significance is a political choice.
It just can't be done economically, because yields of a nuke(pun intended) don't immediately map onto economical values. Not just immensely positive or negative, but actually tangential to the currency dimensions.
