Just striking? What about defence. A big part of wing chun forms is defining your structure so that you can block bigger guys.
If a person hit a bag for twenty years without being taught anything about shapes or structures, they would be good hitter, but they wouldn't be as good as a person who has trained in martial arts for twenty years.
Forms are just an add on to the martial arts world. It is good to train on your own and with other people
