Like, was that supposed to be a gotcha moment?
The author's whims don't matter, so if they decide the plot, then the plot doesn't matter by extension.

If plot doesn't matter than there's no reason to try and trivialize Bulma's involvement.
The plot is all a lazy, convenient excuse to show flashy fights. Bulma doesn't fight, so she isn't important. This isn't trivializing her involvement; it's calling her out for the minor background character that she is no matter how you fuss over the most minuscule of details.

You're the one constantly trying to re-write the narrative in all these topics.
To exemplify my point that the plot doesn't matter. If you can easily change it into something else, then it's not important.
