I think you're right, but for the wrong reasons. Actual evidence-based science would be fantastic. But a lot of what I've seen being touted as "science" in this field is flimsy or not science at all. The primary cause is the downfall of research done by universities. Our institutions are churning out mountains of bullshit "science" in certain fields, including in education. This junk science is now being pushed down into the classroom and it's devastating for educators and students. Once I was consulting a very large family foundation in this space and asked why there are no randomized trials in education. I was told that researchers in the space think it's unethical to conduct studies with control groups on students. (Which, to be clear, is moronic.) The result is there's very little in the way of solid evidence about what even works.
