Michaelson-Morley didn't falsify aether. At the time, their results were interpreted within the aether framework in terms of compression of the aether yielding the Lorentz transformations.

We still have the aether, we just call it the "electromagnetic field"

We absolutely do not have an aether! Light does not travel through a medium like ripples in water.

The aether makes specific predictions. Like the fact that we're all traveling through it because it is a background medium. These were clearly refuted.

Fields are not aethers. Fields do not have a reference frame.
