Purely hypothetical (if I can find the side clicky button for the G502X (I think))

I've heard so, SO SO SO many arguements that martial arts like Karate, Taekwondo and generally the entirety of Wushu/Kung-Fu is play, because they're all Kata baby bullshit, while 'real' arts like Boxing, Muay Thai etc etc etc are arts that are true and real fighting styles because they have nothing but training and fighting

So, the question is, is the existance of Kata within a martial art subtractive from it's total value as a fighting style? And why do some fighting styles *not* have a kata? (And also why do Kata fighting styles always seem so undervalued, no matter what they are)
