Also Earth and Mars are effectively in a Cold War in the series - with tons of sensors and massive arsenals of planetary defense interceptors (effectively massive cluster nukes with insanely hight acceleration boosters and a lot of delta-v). The antagonists actually need to use quite a lot of tricks to get anything through and indeed don't care what they hit and would likely not be able to target it so precisely anyway.

Well actually… The opener to that book begins with a mission to steal sensor camouflaging technology (to make the asteroids harder to detect). During the heist mission, the thieves use kinetic bombardment on a much smaller scale to take out the military personnel and eventually destroy the entire base. I believe the location and timing were so precise so as to hit a unit when they crossed over a hill. It was noted that these kinetic bombs had been released months prior.
