Except that physicists do debate what measurement means, evidence is etc.
I studied science before philosophy and the cartoon-view of philosophy, even as it applied to science, that I was given in the sciences was 50-100 years out of date, backasswards and upside-down, and extremely brief to boot. Scientists for the most part don't understand philosophy of science, they are mostly confused about what makes science, science - and they have scant knowledge about the history of their own science, much less science in general.
Historically, philosophy was the pile of compost from which every science has grown. And many transplants of useful ideas since.
Sturgeon's law applies to both science and philosophy; both see the other's faults but not their own. Both are useful.
