Is there any reason the universe has matter not being able to exceed the speed of light, or why there is a speed limit in the first place?

I know why it can't, meaning the basic physics of it. I am just wondering if the reason why the universe is like this is or the benefit of it known.

I know this might be too philosophical, but I am just wondering.

One aspect that comes to my mind is the concept of causality. Superluminal propagation would allow for a violation of this principle, creating various paradoxical phenomena.
