So why didn't electric charge do the same thing?

why? (Yes I know relativity but why does that describe space time, and not a different set of rules?)
> Because the laws of physics are invariant with different inertial frames, and thus Maxwell's equations (and thus c) are invariant.
you have answered with because it doesn't, so why doesn't it vary?
> No they don't! Even if they're currently unanswerable they are still physics. Nothing ever stops being physics.
Yes they do, maybe with future physics they will get answered but there will be still a 'why?' underneath. Why do photons have no charge yet gluons have colour? Why are things made of particles and not a continuous substrate? Why is entropy increasing?
