I think we understand the processes just fine. The issue is that we can't get a "closed form" solution for 10^100 interactions per planck time.

That's like saying chemistry has nothing to understand because we know Schrodinger's wave equation. Or that we understand biology and psychology just for for the same reason.
Yeah, I think that makes sense. Those systems are similar in that they are made of zillions of tiny parts and there's no way to pull a one equation to rule them all out of it. We could, given infinite compute, but it's just not feasible.
