I’m not familiar enough with the work of the ID proponents to know if or what they have done to empirically test an ID hypothesis.
I doubt Swamidass would concur that the current theory of evolution as proposed in established science is insufficient to give the best account for everything found in biological organisms. If he did concur then he would be taking the same position as ID proponents.
I have seen panel discussions and debates between ID proponents and other scientists hence consider your claim demonstrably false.
Engage science means engage with the established scientific community on the matters of disagreement on the current theory.
I can’t speak for them with respect to every individual.
