Why do physicists look down on mathematicians?

I think it may be because physicists are very good at mathematics, and people who are not good at mathematics cannot go deep into physics. At that time, Einstein once encountered a bottleneck because of mathematical problems. Then physicists can use mathematics to explain things in nature and the universe. They can do what mathematicians know, so I think mathematicians only study some technical rules, and they are the ones who really apply them to reality. There is also no Nobel Prize for mathematics, which may make physicists feel that mathematics is inferior. In fact, without the contributions of mathematicians, there would be no modern physics and other modern sciences today. Mathematics is a basic subject. Perhaps it is precisely because of its foundation that it is despised by physicists who build on this foundation.
