Philosophy is the birthplace of sciences, which is why most philosophers are dealing with some kind of metaphysics. Yes, there are some philosophers that continue their work after developing it from a metaphysics into a physics, but that's sort of besides the point. The point of philosophy is to create the framework for empirical research.
That you would deride Wittgenstein on a math/CS forum, when he is literally the person who thought up the concept of truth tables, seems quite egregious.
Yes, Wittgenstein is one of the most frustrating philosophers to read (I know, I took a class on his work), but his impact on the development of computer science, as one of the main people trying to harness the logic of thought/language, seems obvious to me.
