Why is Chernobyl deemed to not be habitable for 22,000 years despite reports and articles everywhere saying that the radiation exposure of being within the exclusion zone is less you’d get than flying in a plane or living in elevated areas like Colorado or Cornwall?

In addition to what others said, take a look at what happened when Russians started moving things around. Radiation is “settled”, it’s in the ground and so on. If no human activity takes place, then radiation in the air, in those areas, is pretty much normal, but as soon as you start introducing human activity, you will make those particles fly again. All of the sensors in Chernobyl area started going up as soon as Russia entered, and those sensors were then disabled (guess why). Many ended up with radiation poisoning. Doing simple tourism is fine, but as soon as you start farming, building, driving heavy machinery, etc., whole hell can break loose.
