Can someone dumb this down for me, don't monks already get this bonus action? this is from the optional Monk features 3rd-level monk feature If you spend 1 ki point or more as part of your action on your turn, you can make one attack with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon as a bonus action before the end of the turn.

We're discussing Ki-Empowered Strikes, which is a monk's 6th level feature that makes their unarmed strikes (action or bonus action) magical for overcoming resistance or immunity to non-magical attacks and damage. You are bringing up Ki-Fueled Attack which gives the bonus action attack if you use Ki on your turn. So it's not about any bonus action, just the fact that your unarmed strikes are considered magical.
The point is you can punch ghosts and other paranormal creatures with your bare hands. Sure there's items you can get to do the same thing, but that won't always be an option. It's not the flashiest feature, but it is nice to be a martial, get this, and not have to worry about many creatures' resistance or immunity to physical damage.
I do think more could be done with the concept of Ki Empowered Strikes though, maybe higher level upgrades that allow you to alter their damage type or something.
