Us. Conscious creatures humans or otherwise. We are the genesis of “point”.
By analogy, what’s the point of a sun, or a planet, being a thing? It just is, right? A mechanism of nature.
Maybe we are do, but it’s undeniable tjsybwe experience reality. Experience is the only thing they can have a point, by definition. This is simply axiomatic.
There is no knowing a universe without knowers, so whether something just is, absent is, is a nonsense question. Sense to whom, after all?
What makes ‘us’ so special that the worth of a whole universe is determined by our existence, inspite of the brevity of human history? Written history has only been around for 5,000. The oldest homo sapiens has only been around for 300,000 years. Was the universe insignificant for the rest of its 13,799,700,000 years?
