It is more nuanced. A lot of science is settled and e. g. moved over to technology. All semiconductor devices rely on what was groundbreaking science (as well as simple electricity on even earlier groundbreaking science). The latest when it became technology that part is settled (because it is then reproduced million of times). Problem is some fields which do not systematically reproduce findings, or that it is even discouraged to reproduce results are not in a good shape and encourage (not deliberately) p value hacking at the one end and fraud at the other.
