In Fallout 3 and 4, they have the Pulowski Preservation Shelters. People seem to act like they are scams, but are they?
It seems very clear that they were never intended for long term protection like the vaults, just protection from the initial blast and high radiation.
The highly radioactive elements left after a blast decay fast...that's why they are highly radioactive and as a result, the radiation level drops 90% every 7 hours, and the levels become safe(r) after 36-48 hours. It seems obvious that the Pulowski Shelters were only meant to be used for this time frame, then the occupant leaves and finds more permanent shelter.

paper thin shell, gamma radiation would still penetrate it
there is no self contained air supply, it relies on a hose (again compromising any shielding against radiation) and most likely skimps on any air filtration
you can open it from outside by tossing in coins, what is stopping another desperate person to just open it ?
if that metal tube was thicker and worked as elevator going underground to some fallout shelter then maybe it would be decent

This really doesn't make any sense. Like the company expects to make some loose change in revenue per machine, after society has collapsed? It only makes sense that city goverments bought them to be installed.

I always figured that they were there to profit off of the cultural hysteria. Everyone was so sure and obsessed that bombs would drop any minute that random people would probably jump inside one all the time. Then when nothing happens, they leave and someone else having a panic attack pays to get in. But your idea that cities/governments got scammed makes a lot more sense in a realistic way.
