I think the format itself (a list, where each item is at least a whole sentence) has a connotation of thoroughness and authority; and it reduces the TL;DR effect by presenting the content in small-but-not-trivial separable pieces.
Also, I see a “wall of text” as not having bullet points: being a series of long paragraphs without much structure visible without reading the text itself. The term is being misapplied to this comment in my opinion.
This reminds me of that my highest rated so far answer at Stack Overflow was a big bullet pointed list.

I agree that a bullet point list isn’t generally considered a wall of text.
