The electron might not be the focus of attention (such as when a stream of protons is created) but it's moving in the background. Conservation of charge says it has to.

By that logic and by invoking 'conservation of charge', surely the inverse must also be true?  So if there is current in a wire, explain where the proton (or positive charge carrier of your choice) motion is?

Ah but where are the positrons?

I don't think anybody's objected to *circulating*, just as long as they're not *flowing* in places they're not meant to
