The Game of Go has been explored for 2500 years and resulted in a body of theories that Go masters study in Go schools. Alpha Go discovered that human Go understanding was caught in a local optimum, and broke out of it. The game of modern physics started only 130 years ago...
Yes, Go is a closed world and physics an open one. But practically, the frequency of making observations that force us to change foundational physics is very low. The solution space should already be sufficiently constrained to derive a decent class of GUTs.

In other words, progress in physics seems currently not hampered by experimental results that could help to decide between string theory and loop quantum gravity etc., but by our failure to unify existing, largely accurate models.

Fair position. But not my view. I feel currently experimental input is too limited and hence the space of possible theories is too wide.
