As a Physicist, let me explain my own viewpoint, not necessarily shared by other physicists. Think of musicians. Most of the great musicians across never studied music theory, and never studied philosophy relevant to music in some way. But every good musician practices philosophy. They ask, what is good music, what does it mean to produce good music? What is relationship of my audience with my music? Why does this kind of music produce these kinds of emotions? And they discuss this with other musicians quite a lot. They are engaging with philosophy as it concerns their profession. Physicists/scientists also do this. Some more than others. What do the results of this experiment truly mean? Can we trust the results? What criteria should we use to judge a new theory? These discussions happen all the time. Physicists are obviously not opposed to any of this because it is part of their profession. What philosophers mean, when they say, why do Physicists not read the stuff we want you to read. And invariably that stuff is a hundred or five hundred years old. Physicists love and revere Einstein, so they take his words and rewrite it and improve it a thousand times, so that a century later we have a far far far more sophisticated philosophical understanding of general relativity and, say, entanglement, than he ever did. This is what Physicists are interested in. Improving the quality of the body of our knowledge and beliefs. If philosophers want Physicists to read philosophy, at minimum, they will have to rewrite and improve the stuff of dusty old men, and make strong connections with modern physics research. And ask people to read this new stuff.
