You said the equations demand an absolute reference frame that doesn't
exist. In science, that would be a very strong indicator that they
don't work.

That old saw. Maxwell's equations are nothing but shorthand for a
serious of English sentences that would take a great number of words
to say with the same precision that the algebraic notation says in
compact form. When you read the equation, all of those terms have been
defined and their conceptual meaning already established. Thus the
interpretation is the conceptual framework that is already written
down before the equations are.
