It's simple geometry.
The shortest distance between 2 points (that aren't quantumly entangled) is a straight line. The bugs can avoid having to traverse the curvature of the planet by burrowing straight in to your ass.
Geology would suggest that the composition of the material they are burrowing through could create a problem though.
But the Terminids seem to dig through all materials at the same speed. Sand, dirt and solid rock.
