[MC-185249] End crystals summoned by command block does not affect other blocks when exploding

I am messing with the end crystals to create an explosion that will fling the player in the air but for some reason it doesn't have knockback and will not damage the blocks surrounding them.

How to reproduce:
place an end crystal on obsidian/bedrock
left click to explode it
(/)works as intended
give yourself a command block: /give @p command block
use the command block and type: /summon end_crystal
set the command block to: always active, repeat
left click to explode it
(x)The end crystals does not do damage to the surrounding blocks, no knockback

don't place it in the command block, try to put it on top or on the side

The command that you used (/summon end_crystal) spawns the end crystal inside the command block, which causes it to deal no damage to surrounding blocks due to its high blast resistance. Try spawning it with an offset and see if the issue still occurs, and if s, please comment here.
