Why is there only one, and how can you call it "independent"?

Surely it is defined by the rotation relative to another object, and since
ALL objects are moving, why does it matter which one we pick to pretend is
stationary?

Surely you _must_ have another object against which to measure motion (of
rotation, or any other kind), and so this motion _cannot_, by definition, be
"independent".
