Nature seems to speak in forces and had been doing so long before we arrived and started honing our math skills.
Nature made an imprint on our math. Newton came up with new math to make more accurate physical predictions.
There is a good reason to be an adherent to the mathematical descriptions. We might want the photon to go through only one slit, To help make nature more classical and understandable, but that’s not the nature we know and observe. So we keep to the math and let it speak to us, lest our work-a-day understandings of the world lead us astray.
