(That said, I think there are some advantages to including historical anecdotes when teaching physics, because they make some topics stick a little better, but it's not essential, just a nice bonus.)
I think there's a larger discussion to be had, among scientists, about the ways in which biography is either mobilized or whitewashed away. It's not just about "a nice bonus," it's about inculcating a set of ideals in students.
If I might recommend one reading on this for physicists, it is Sharon Traweek, "Pilgrim's Progress: Male Tales Told During a Life of Physics," (1999): http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Traweek-Male-Tales.pdf … It also mentions, briefly, why Feynman and his bongo pics are so frequently invoked in physics textbooks.
