If you look for equations that describe a universe in which all observers measure the same speed for light, then you arrive at the Lorentz transformation. This is why Einstein and Lorentz ended up in the same place - they both started with the same premise.

As far as I can tell, the question was not the speed of light, but 'form invariance' between coordinate systems in motion, which motivated Voigt and Poincare to develop an early form of SRT.

This was taken by Hendrik Lorentz, who developed on that foundation something, which Poincare named 'Lorentz transform'.

And I have read, that Poincare didn't like that and also not Einstein's SRT.

 You read what? Where?
 

The paper was titled 'Henri Poincare and Relativity theory'  by A.A. Logunov
