You can transmit torque with a radially laced hub it's just that you are doing it by pulling straight out on the hub flange which isn't nearly as strong as pulling at some angle or, better yet, tangentially.

that's half radial there. The drive side is radial, the NDS is 2x

I think the source of your confusion is that they use straight pull spokes all around.
the NDS spokes, although going straight out of the hub, are offset so that the spokes are actually going out on a tangent.
