Sure. But WE have something to do with 'observer dependent frames'.

IOW: common human beings regard themselves as more or less at rest, even 
if this not true.

Earth rotates around its axis and swirls together with the entire solar 
system around the center of our galaxy. But still we think, that our 
chair is not moving, while we sit on it.

So, physical truth and common sense do not match. But if common sense 
could not be used in physics, how do we define something correct then?

Possible questions are: what is actually time? Is matter for one 
observer also matter for all possible others? Is mass constant?


(And so forth...)

You make a statement about coordinates ('Coordinates are to be COMMON').

But how do you justify this demand? If space and time are in fact 
'relative', then coordinates are not common at all, but 'relative'.

Since we lack any other possible references, 'relative' means 'relative 
to the observer' (what you rejected).
