Knuths definition of , is mskipthinmuskip.
LaTeX changes this definition to
DeclareRobustCommand,%
relaxifmmodemskipthinmuskipelsethinspacefi
defthinspacekern .16667em
amsmath.sty says it's
DeclareRobustCommandtmspace[3]%
ifmmodemskip#1#2elsekern#1#3firelax
renewcommand,tmspace+thinmuskip.1667em
I might understand LaTeX's point to make a command usable also in text mode. But what's the point of the redefinition by amsmath?

You should look at the full picture:

154 │ ifmmodemskip#1#2elsekern#1#3firelax
155 │ else
156 │ DeclareRobustCommandtmspace[3]%
157 │ ifmmodemskip#1#2elseleavevmode@ifvmodekern#1#3firelax
158 │ fi
159 │ renewcommand,tmspace+thinmuskip.1667em
160 │ letthinspace,

162 │ letnegthinspace!
163 │ renewcommand:tmspace+medmuskip.2222em
164 │ letmedspace:

166 │ renewcommand;tmspace+thickmuskip.2777em
167 │ letthickspace;
168 │ newcommandnegthickspacetmspace-thickmuskip.2777em
The two definitions of tmspace are due to recent decisions to make such commands start paragraph mode anyway. With a recent LaTeX kernel the second one will be used.
Contrast this with the code in the LaTeX kernel:
1619 │ DeclareRobustCommand,%
1620 │ relaxifmmodemskipthinmuskipelsethinspacefi
1621 │
1630 │ defthinspaceleavevmode@ifvmodekern .16667em
1631 │ defnegthinspaceleavevmode@ifvmodekern-.16667em
4543 │ def>mskipmedmuskip
4544 │ def;mskipthickmuskip
4545 │ def!mskip-thinmuskip
4547 │ let:=>
The approach of amsmath is much more rational and cleaner. They also provide text mode equivalent of all macros, whereas ! cannot be used in text mode if amsmath is not loaded, and similarly for the others. The final result will be essentially the same. However, a , command will be translated into tmspace+thinmuskip.1667em when written in an auxiliary file, instead of ,. Not really a big deal.
