Yeah, absolutely fair enough!
I agree that any modelling of the natural world is necessarily going to come with assumptions, some of which will appear to be strongly justified and others not so much.
I've followed the fundamental physics field(s) from the outside for 30 years and had somehow formed the impression that GR and the SM were very rigorously formulated.
And compared to our modelling of (say) biology, they certainly are. But I suppose I was surprised to learn about these "loose threads" in physics that, when tugged, suggest a less tightly knit fabric than I had expected.
