Maxwell's equations are about charges and fields. You don't need electrons. A pure proton beam generates EM waves and fields nicely. Most people don't own a particle accelerator so proton current is not the 'normal' electricity we all use and study but it's positive charge is equal to that of an electron and in the right conditions behaves in an equivalent manner as a charge carrier.Maxwell's equations are not independent of its source electron.
Maxwell's equations depend on an electron.
Maxwell's equations isn't isolate system.
There isn't Maxwell's theory without SRT and vice versa.
