Not all internal arts develop this power, but don't you think that it's practical to be able to strike at least as fast as an external martial artist but with a lot more power and no wind up??? As a grappler you may not realise this. Not that that makes you a bad fighter. Grappling internal power is perhaps at the other end of this spectrum. Very few masters have skill in one of these and even fewer have both...
From my experience the explosive striking power is the rarer of the two. Based on what people on these forums have described I believe that no more than a handful of them have this skill or have even experienced it. I have only seen several videos that demonstrate it. CXW and that XYLHQ master in Japan, forgot his name, come to mind. Even in the internal striking arts such as XYQ very few have this skill. It's really individual masters that have the skill, not the arts themselves.

Or maybe they have literally decades more experience than you and aren't as easily impressed.
