I think what plagued "economics as science" from early on is that it is too relevant for power structures to leave it alone

i) it identifies potent policy levers. those must be controlled

ii) in contrast with pretty much everything else in the universe, modifying economic structures is fairly easy.

E.g., you wake up one morning and everybody is happily minting "trillions of bitcoin value"
