Every book and every long article should start with a bullet point preface of significant conclusions and noteworthy evidence / argumentation that led to the conclusions. That way we can quickly parse whether it is worth it to invest our time on it (or whether: we have gone through the information before; there is nothing noteworthy to glean from it). Even scientific articles should do this immediately on the first page, not just somewhere in their discussion / conclusion.
Would a sufficiently detailed table of contents satisfy you? Assuming reasonably descriptive chapter and section headings of course.
Especially if there is also a table of figures and list of tables, it seems pretty straight forward to flip through and see how familiar/tractable the content will be.
I do think there is a place for bullets sometimes, but bullets can also be symptomatic of a sort of powerpoint syndrome.
If you could get the full argument a book makes from reading a bulleted list is there really a point in the book?
Or along the same lines there is the classic:
Ultimately arguing that poor use of bulleted lists contributed to the loss of shuttle Columbia.
