Then what's the point? If the one punch is not meant to do "damage" then why bother? What's the intent? If the boxer has the capacity to defend against the single hit and counter with a barrage of punches, who is doing more damage?

I'm not sure what you meant by that. The WT punch is never/hardly ever delivered alone, but usually as a series of punches and occasionally simultaneously with one or more attacks. I would argue that the combinations in WT are faster to execute than those in boxing.
I didn't say the punches were non-damaging, and there is definitely a point to punches that don't attempt to knock the opponent out. If there wasn't, then there would be no jab in boxing. Not all fights end in one hit. If you can start a series of (key word -->) hard chain punches on an opponent, you can usually overwhelm them and force them into retreating or at least just defending, at which point you can either continue what you are doing or you can change your offense to something else, like knee/groin kicks.
