That’s because in the fallout universe the nuclear war happened after electricity, and computers were a thing. I believe steampunk is an alternate timeline where technology advances without advancement in electrical and digital technologies (aka steam and hydro-mechanical energy). That’s a different setting from the nuclear power age of fallout.
I think the difference is based primarily on the main power source (steam, nuclear, or coal).
P.S. I’m not actually sure whether transistors exist or not in the fallout universe they might have existed but where a new underdeveloped technology.
