I've got a vague idea, but what Shiapouf said may only be true for thhe majority of Nen users, and not Nen masters on the level of Netero, Bisky or Zeno. After all, most Nen users are taught that they can only master their inert category, and their skill with each Nen type decreases the further they get away from their own, yet Nen masters like the ones I mentioned previously have completely debunked this statement by incorporating nearly all aspects of Nen into their Hatsu's and with startling effectiveness.

So knowing this, it may be that while Morel and Pouf are fearsome Nen users in their own regard, they simply haven't reached the level where their Nen puppets are equal in power to them. Netero on the other hand who may well be the most skilled Nen user on the planet might have been able to reach this point with his 100 type Guanyin Bodhisattva, and make it as powerful as he is. Although saying this, I suppose it depends on how you define power. Logically speaking, his Guanyin Bodhisattva should be doing less damage than him since its hands have a much larger surface area than his fists for instance, therefor distributing the power of there blows. This segways nicely into your second question, why would he use it?

In terms of most of his combat encounters, I'd imagine he wouldn't, since as seen in his flashback while fighting Meruem, he could finish almost all of his opponents off with a single strike. And, fore encounters that required more than a single strike, his Hatsu would just add to a larger array of ways he could approach a situation. And in his battle with Meruem for instance, it wasn't just about inflicting damage without any risk of danger, it was about surviving a fight he couldn't win, since any other technique would have undoubtedly ended with his demise. Contradicting my previous statement, the Bodhisattva also probably hit harder than Netero could have in his current state. While punches may have been more efficient in his earlier years and while he was certainly fit in his old age, using his Nen while detaching it from his body would probably have allowed his too hit harder without risking damage to a body that may not be able to keep up with it.

In conclusion, I think that Pouf's statement is true in most cases, since the majority of Nen users are not on the scale of Netero, but we should mention him and his Hatsu as being an exception too that rule.
