However we cannot find the speed of the moving Earth (or aether drift as
they called it) as it is just not possible. The light speed variance
nicely cuts out the extra plus or minus distances travelled.
This is rather subtle, so requires some deep thinking.

What does "deep thinking" mean? Is it logical thinking?
Can you show the logic that show that it is impossible
to measure the speed of the Earth in the aether?

 Done that.

Don't bluff, nobody will believe you.
You have never showed the logic that shows that it is
impossible to measure the speed of the Earth in the aether.
If EM-radiation is a wave in an aether, it would be as easy
to measure the speed of Earth relative to the aether,
as it is to measure the speed of an aeroplane relative to the air.

See all we post here. When you realise that all moves, no
inertial frame with respect to aether, then you will realise that what
MMX et al show is light speed variance.

The MMX shows that the speed of light is isotropic in all
inertial frames.
It says nothing about what the speed of light is, and if it
is the same in all frames of reference.
That's why the the KTX was performed.

However, waves in a medium is anisotropic in all inertial
frames but the one that is stationary relative to the medium.
So MMX shows that light is not a wave in the aether.
