So scientists included in their models dark matter and dark energy, and when they run the models they can see dark matter and dark energy! Seems like circular reasoning. We have had Dark this and Dark that thrown at us for a decade with nothing to show for it or even a vague idea of how big this particle is, to the point where "Dark" is just a euphemism for "Give me research money" Most of the so-called theories have even broken the mass interaction and motion of galaxies problem that Dark Matter was invented to fix. When are they going to get serious about the legitimate alternatives to answer questions of celestial motion that don't require the invention of imaginary particles?

If models drop DM and DE then astronomers would need to find another label to use to describe observed effects.

The label,: dark matter", first came in 1933 to suggest extra matter would necessarily have to exist in the Coma cluster to explain the fast motions of the galaxies in order to maintain the cluster. But "extra ordinary claims require extra ordinary evidence" (Sagan). So, it stayed on the back burner.

Tons of evidence now demonstrate that DM is not due to observational errors.

DE wasn't hardly even imagined, but in the 1990s there was evidence from two independent sources showing the universe is accelerating. Such a force was envisioned first by Einstein when he added (later deleted) his cosmological constant. Lemaitre a few year later incorporated vacuum energy in his original expansion model (ie BBT). But little is known about what DE actually is, though there are a few dozen theories.

These are both mysteries but observations clearly show they are there.
