Because the race between the USA and the Soviet Union mostly focused on the production of atomic bombs and the intercontinental missilies to launch them. At the same time, none of the parties had an effective defense against a massive attack of the other, other than a last-minute massive counterattack. So any escalation would have meant total destruction.
