The universe does not owe us explainability in terms of everyday intuition.

You don't just "find some math that fits the data" the way you would mechanically tune the parameters of a given mathematical model to fit empirical data.

Indeed finding a mathematical formulation that seems to describe a corner of reality with any fidelity is such an extraordinary thing that physicists have always puzzled about why it is even possible!

Now it turns out that these mathematical inventions "work" even when our intuition (built on experiences around human scale) cannot quite grasp them. This is the case both in the realms of the very small (quantum) and very big (relativity).

This doesnt mean that at some point we might not find deeper mathematical abstractions that "work better" (e.g., this was the string theory ambition) but the practical result would still be every bit "shut up and calculate".
