If the compound words all have single word entries in the dictionary that when combined mean the same thing what is the point?

Water: transparent, odorless, tasteless liquid

Boiling: having reached the boiling point

Boiling Water: transparent, odorless, tasteless liquid which has reached the boiling point

If Boiling Water had some other completely different meaning that has nothing to do with the individual words then sure, maybe, otherwise this is completely redundant and opinionated.

As an English native, I'd rather see proper nouns in a dictionary before seeing "compound words".

Personally, I don't agree that "boiling water" is a word (with a space) - I would refer to it as a phrase if it had specific meaning, but it just seems like an ordinary pairing of adjective and noun. Also, if a word can contain a space, then what is the meaning of "words" as there doesn't seem an easy way to distinguish between a "compound word" and a common phrase. Is "barking dog" a pair of words, a compound word or a phrase? (It's a pair of words in my mind)
