Hmmm...

"The arts were not meant to fight against each other, so comparing them is impossible!"

Could be true.

"The Traditional Styles are designed for that one punch throwing, unskilled attacker!"

Seems probable.

"But, don't the modern "fighting" styles that are designed to meet anything still throw punches and kicks?"

Yes.

"Don't all the other TMA styles have defenses against punches and kicks?"

Yes.

"So what's the problem?"

I dunno.......
