You can make an identical argument with respect to classical physics, e.g. outstanding issues in fluid dynamics or statistical mechanics.

Nobody takes this to mean that classical physics is generally incomprehensible.

The difference is that the part we do not understand about QM is rather fundamental to its interpretation, while in classical physics it is more a problem of understanding its consequences in complex scenarios.
