You are right and Arindam will agree totally with you for he has proved

It seems we may be able to have energy without mass.

That said, various derivations like when electromagnetism

A tetrad of quantities like mass/charge/lifetime/velocity,
about you'll notice four particles like neutron/electron/proton/photon,
about four forces like strong, electrical, weak, electroweak,
and four fields for those four forces,
and often in linear accounts a trio of the free one the fixed,
has that theories like GR have one or two of those, while QM
sort of billiard-balls them all together, then without
having another "element" like "ether", for space,
or a projection of prediction, for time,
have it so that a sort of tetra of quantities is
then arrived at as "energy", everywhere, connected,
"entelechy" everywhere, it's called "continuity law
a stronger than conservation law".

That does seem a little free-wheeling. Some consider gravity to provide
the functionality of an ether for light.
