This is true of the physics most people learn in secondary school, before calculus is introduced. But I don’t think it’s true of anyone you might call a physicist. I’m confused by the chip you seem to have on your shoulder re physics.
Calculus isn’t a magic trick that allows you to dispense with idealisations and approximations. You can start dealing with friction and air resistance, but you don’t get one equation that is completely precise and applicable to anything.
I don’t have a chip on my shoulder about physics: everyone else has a halo effect
