I just noticed this. The points serve as the Hall Effect trigger just like in your chain saw example. Modern systems use magnets for the Hall trigger but points do the same thing.
I have been told that what the modules do is create a much longer lasting spark so that timing becomes much less tedious. They also aren't really impacted by point wear much in that, because the spark lasts long, the cart doesn't have to be continually timed to match wearing points.
