As someone with a physics degree, physicists really have a unique ability to stroke their own egos. I think I agree with the premise - structure is certainly the most important thing in our physics and machine learning. However, a significant portion of the effectiveness behind ML is letting the computer find the structure for itself rather than doing it yourself. The most effective uses guide the learning via minimal structure.
