It's interesting to compare this situation to earlier eras in science. Newton, for example, gave us equations that were very accurate but left us with no understanding at all of why they were accurate. It seems like we're repeating that here, albeit with wildly different methods. We're getting better models but by giving up on the possibility of actually understanding things from first principles.
