    Because of how the radius damage implementation works.

    Bullets do direct damage, the grenade does radius damage. Inside the radiusDamage() method there is a check that calculates if the object is exposed or not:
    // Calculate how much exposure the current object has to
// the explosive force.  The object types listed are objects
// that will block an explosion.  If the object is totally blocked,
// then no damage is applied.
%coverage = calcExplosionCoverage(%position, %targetObject,
                                  $TypeMasks::InteriorObjectType |
                                  $TypeMasks::TerrainObjectType |
                                  $TypeMasks::ForceFieldObjectType |
                                  $TypeMasks::StaticTSObjectType |
                                  $TypeMasks::VehicleObjectType);
if (%coverage == 0)
   continue;
    Since the boulder is pushed through the Terrain, calcExplosionCoverage considers the boulder as blocked by the Terrain, thus it recieves no radiusDamage.
