Tritium is very different from radium. I'm a little out of my field of
expertise here but I think that tritium is mainly a beta source while radium
is a gamma emitter. Also the body can get rid of tritium if ingested
because it is chemically similar to hydrogen. I'm sure I will be corrected
if wrong.

Public perceptions of risk change with time.
In WWII, Radium dial watches, aircraft instruments, dial and switch
markings, were ubiquitous. But so were explosives, bombs, bayonettes, and
a bunch of other things. So people didn't have the luxury of concerns
over
minor things.
Now that is not so.

Not to fan the fire. But you can still buy tritium glow in the dark
sights for pistols (It is standard on a lot of them now). You can even
add tritium glow in the dark tubes to custom flashlights and I think
even knives... :)
