I think the bigger problem is that most of the big theories (loop quantum gravity, string theory) don’t really have even “in theory” tests that are limited by technology. String theory in particular has the problem that it explains too much. Thus the controversy with several books on the subject by Lee Smolin, Peter Woit and others.
