I don't believe that Sentry as a character here is on trial, like it really doesn't have to go further than if he was trying to fight or not and that conclusion is pretty clear
We are using the exact same evidence but the interpretations are vastly different which perplexes me since Sentry in the page you put up clearly says that he would have to try if he were to try and stop Green scar Hulk in Manhattan; Sentry loses the fight from damage and exhaustion. Those things are something you can't deny, so this is the genesis of where your conclusion branches off that I can't seem to wrap my head around other than denial
Sentry did say he would have to try against Hulk, no denying that, but he was also scared to death of the damage and lives that would be lost expelling that much energy. I believe thats why it was mostly contained during the fight to a block or so radius while being formed into funnel clouds and upright columns instead of outwards. Besides all of that, i'm not sure of Paks angle where he wrote the Sentry into a character that felt the need and urge to release this energy in a way that he appeared like he was going to explode or it was going to kill him or something if he didnt, when he's never been that way before.
Regardless of all that, you have to admit that Sentry fought like a retard when they finally got down to it. Again, Pak had him acting like releasing all that energy was addictive or stimulating for some reason Why? Thats never happened before. It was so out of character. If WWH would have taken out a black eyed, confident Sentry instead of a passive, retarded version that was standing there begging for the Hulk to punch him some more while smiling and laughing, then we would have something. Seriously, when the Sentry gets backed up into a wall what happens practically everytime? The Voided out eyes appear and shit gets real. Here you have a story where the circumstances are dire and the Sentry was certainly backed up against the wall and,,,,,,,,nothing. You have a burnt out Bob thanking Bruce for the experience and he collapses. God it was an awful written story.
Funny also how a holding back Sentry was fighting Photon in the microverse and was releasing so much energy there (again while holding back) that worlds were being destroyed. Far cry from this pathetic outing.

My question is, why didn't Sentry use his reality warping powers to stop Green Scar? Might be a dumb question, but it's been thrown around her a lot recently and I'm genuinely curious.
I mean, why does Sentry even have to throw a punch (or take a punch) EVER in a confrontation?

Could be, I don't really know Sentry's timeline. But wasn't his fight with the Molecule Man a long time ago? That couldn't have been a physical battle, but of course, correct me if I'm wrong.

I dont think so. In his new series he has created an entire new reality in which he travels to so that he can become Sentry and do his superhero bit. On 616 earth he's a depressed, short order cook, slob of a guy.
That's kinda what my train of thought is. Sentry should never have to go physical again. Just wondering if there's a reason or a logic to him using physical strength now.
that's like a Green Lantern resorting to throwing a punch! …..Oh, wait.... LOL!
