If all the laws of physics always happen the same, then what relevance does the frame of reference have?

If you observe the world from an inertia frame of reference—meaning that you aren’t accelerating—then all of the laws of physics will apply properly to the objects you see. Energy will be conserved during activities, momentum will be transferred between objects without being created or destroyed, and so on. So it’s true that any inertial frame of reference will do. However, there is often a “best” reference frame from which to observe a situation. A good example of this is the situation in which a ball bounces from a bat. The best inertial reference frame from which to watch that bounce is the frame of the moving bat. In that special inertial reference frame, the bat doesn’t move and the ball bounces off the stationary bat.
