Thank you, but I'll add:
I don't deny light travels in glass, water, diamond, etc. There
are dielectrics. I just refuse to call the vacuum of space a
dielectric,
I see need for it. Aether would be a dielectric and there is no
aether.

Well, ok. To me, a voltage can exist, a capacitor can be charged
and there is no current flowing. Pressure without movement.

I don't see a displacement current. I see a changing magnetic field.
Referring to impedance, that is frequency dependent.
There is a difference between resistance and impedance.
Resistance limits current in phase with the voltage. Impedance
limits current out of phase with the voltage, and for any given
C that current increases with frequency. For any given L it
decreases with frequency. For an LC circuit there is a balance
point where the current is maximized at some frequency.
This is the "characteristic impedance" frequency, for which
coax is designed. A 50 ohm or 70 ohm cable only has that
value at the optimum frequency, and yes, it can be terminated
with a suitable load for maximum power transfer, which is
maximum current in the resistor with maximun voltage
across it. When there is no resistor, there is no current.
