Differential equations often map to physical scenarios - waves, heat diffusion, etc.


Very true, they are incredibly useful. But as taught in most class rooms the application is far removed from the instruction. A differential equations class is often not much more than showing some techniques and then assigning numerous quantative problems that use those techniques.

So, taking a differential equations class by itself can make it seem abstract and with limited connection to the physical world.
