I do believe Paul's point is easily made at the end of our reading. And that is that God's power is made stronger in our human weakness. Therefore, boasting and weakness allows for Christ's power and grace to be made more evident. Or, in our English translation of this, it's perfected. But why? Why is the divine's power perfected in weakness? Maybe because when human weakness is exposed, we get to see our gracious and compassionate God do things our humanity cannot do well on its own. Maybe because in weakness, one must rely on something else beyond themselves to overcome. Maybe because in weakness, God likes to use those spaces to do things that exceed our expectations. Or maybe because in our boasting about our strength, we lose sight for our need of God and we think we can do things on our own.
