It's not adding a layer of complexity, it's peeling off a layer of abstraction. With the "benefit" that it describes better what we observe and that it allows to successfully make new predictions.

What's your alternative to the scientific method exactly?

100 or so years ago physics went into the wrong direction, ignoring people like Tesla who argued for the aether model.
