Why does renormalizability prevent neutrinos from having mass?They can have
masses in the standard model.

Please explain.  There is no fundamental reason why they're
can't be "a renormalizable quantum field theory of gravitation".

No one has ever derived such a theory, but that doesn't mean that
anyone has shown that it can't be done.

I deleted the rest of your posting because it contains more physics
terminology than knowledge of what the terminology means.
