Ronald A. Fisher succinctly discusses the key point

In relation to any experiment we may speak cf… the “
null hypotheses “ and it should be noted that the
null hypotheses is never proved or established, but
is possibly disproved in the course of
experimentation. Every experiment may be said to
exist only in order to give the facts a chance of
disproving the null hypotheses.

Fisher is talking about proof or disproof of the null hypothesis. That doesn't stop one from being able to make a decision to accept either the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis. Proof and acceptance are not the same thing. That's why we have type I and type II errors.
