Personally, I am underwhelmed, since he does not address the point of view that philosophy is great at asking interesting questions but lousy at answering them.

Philosophers are good at posing and understanding questions, which is non trivial.

The typical failure mode of scientists doing philosophy is getting the question wrong. Show me a non philosopher who has "answered" a philosophical question, and I will show you one who has misunderstood it..

Physics isn't just done for pragmatic reasons. People look to science fir insight into free will, more Ity, consciousness and the origins of the universe. Philosophy can play a role in connecting the popular question to the scientists answers.
