Well, but physicists are not necessarily revolutionaries.
Science had such 'revolutions' from time to time.
But you can't demand, that someone needs to overthrow the mainstream consensus.

things like naive set theory and its antinomies,
ending with computer formalized proofs of the Keppler
packing nowadays. He wrote a lengthy book:

 His struggle starts at page 160, The New Logics.
Similar Einstein was New Mechanics for him.

If his struggle started on page 160, he would be way better then Einstein, because Einstein's troubles started in the first sentence.

Mostlikely Poincaré nowadays would be a form of
 Sabine Hossenfelder with 100 YouTube videos and
possibly many followers. Poincaré faced the
destiny of any old fart that became irrelevant
 over the time and turned into a commentator.

I don't think so, because Poincare was mainly a mathematician.
