Lol when I read a paper that only cites its own work it’s an immediate eye-roll from me. Usually the realm of people who can’t keep their own biases out of their work.
Maybe it’s different for some hyper-specific subfield where no one else is doing anything relevant but I think that’s pretty rare. I don’t know much about physics though. The papers I read are all biology.

Writing a paper is someone’s chance to show its relevancy. But if they don’t discuss it in the context of prior research and therefore don’t contextualize it, that’s their own fault. Data without context is not worth anything.
