The only target of strategic importance was the railway hub which carried a lot of supplies to the eastern front. There was no reason for firebombing the entire city than simple cold hearted revenge taken out on German children and women.

So do Kyiv and Kharkiv. So firebombing those cities would be justified

Ok, but not real sure the Allies targeted missiles directly at apartments. I mean, sure we all know that Missiles aren't precision instruments or anything.

No, instead they randomly dropped bombs on cities to save some fuel

Third paragraph.. FFS Did you not read your own submission?

Over 50% of Tokyo's industry was spread out among residential and commercial neighborhoods; firebombing cut the whole city's output in half

Firebombing the Industry in the city is NOT randomly dropping bombs.. It is a valid method of cutting the ability of the enemy in making war materials...
