The understanding of strange metals, and more broadly, systems (i.e. materials) where strong (often quantum) interactions are important is one of the main general research areas of modern physics. This is motivated partly by the interest in understanding the fundamental physics involved, and partly because these strongly-interacting systems often have other interesting properties such as high-temperature supeconductivity, or various magnetic properties that may be useful for quantum computing. It's a large and active area of research.

Maybe the rules of physics need to have a measure of "ductility" all their own.

So they don't get really bent out of shape ;)

I know what I would be doing with an alloy like that.
