The early Bosch TCI ignitions were point switched transistorized switchgear...
So, the load of the coil is not on the points, but on the transistor.
The points simply feed low current to the base of the switching
transistor circuit.
The problem they were having was the condensor was causing
blueing and failure of the points.
The remedy [ per Benz] was to eliminate the condensor from the circuit as its purpose was to just to clean up the wave form to
the transistor base feed...[ interference ] , They were more troublesome then the benefit of the wave shaping.
After it is eliminated , the point surface will last very long cuz of the low load of the base current to the switching transistor that the points switch/feed... [independent from coil load]
These points were later eliminated in favor of Hall Effect system
