They aren't, however a lasgun + shield explosion looks no different from an atomic blast. You have to be really careful about using them or your intended victim can easily turn that accident into opporunity by screaming about atrocities with atomic weapons and then you're 100% hosed by the rules of that society

In "Messiah" when Paul is monologuing about the death-toll caused by the jihad of his imperial ascension, he numbers the casualties across the Imperium in the tens of billions, but never mentions the use of atomics as being part of the campaign, and still regards them as being forbidden. Since the jihad is being waged presumably by a few million fanatical Fremen and their converts, it seems reasonable to me to think that the lasgun + shield combo might be one of the many tools of destruction being employed.

Maybe they're estimating the total economic value of all current international commodity shipping? It's the closest analogue I can think of.

Mine is Gurney-man, because it carries this old pug dog into battle and has known the comfort of his ex-boss’s woman.
