Maybe not textbook punchers but they def aren't throwing arm punches.
Actually, Paul Williams, Diaz, Ali, etc.... and a whole host of other boxers do throw some arm punches, and yes they do it intentionally and they do have their place. Arm punches or light tapping type punches are used regularly in boxing as set-up shots, distractions, for creating misdirection, as feints, etc...... If your throwing arm punches with the idea of damaging an opponent, it aint gonna happen!
Not all strikes are intended to be thrown with the idea of ending a fight, many times punches are used just to gauge distance, time reactions, find range, set up counters......etc.....
