What most want is explanations of the metaphysics, and some folks try to approach metaphysics through science. I.e., I'd bet that unless scientific discoveries can be grounded in metaphysical firmamament most people (most scientists included) would conclude them mere academic exercises. Much better for scientific recruitment when scientific discoveries can be related to other questions of existence. Contrary to some subset of popular opinion, philosophy is not loosey-goosey.
