Can you think of any other way we could understand, and manipulate our knowledge of, physics besides quantifying things?
An example I have in my head is, imagine if we wanted to put a satellite into orbit. How else could we figure out how to do this besides quantifying mass, speed, distance, etc. and knowing the mathematical relationships between these things?
You might be tempted to say something like trial and error, but that does not give us any understanding of physics.
