Well, it does makes sense, and there has been research and experiments to see if it is something else (and, compared to early descriptions of an electron, it has been shown to be something else: QM, further subatomic particles and all that).

You can argue that this is because we measured better, but even for some of the things we can't measure, we still opt for specific explanations of how they "really are" over others, even if they describe the same phenomena and have the same measurement accuracy.

If anything what you say is just a particular philosophy of looking into what those models mean, not some definitive truth.
