Having a large number of theories is embarrassing! That means you have no idea. Gravity and QM are so great because they are clear winners – they are not easy to modify a little bit and nothing approaches them in terms of practical power. Falsifiability comes from having specific predictions, which means one theory that's an island, not a bunch of approximations.
