The why question always has to be answered, if it can be, in terms of 
some underlying mechanism. This cannot go on for ever. A point must be 
reached where there IS no underlying mechanism, and the why question can 
never be answered.

If electromagnetic waves didn't propagate at speed c in a vacuum, then 
the laws of electromagnetism would be different for different observers. 
In that sense, the reason electromagnetic waves move at speed c is 
because they have to.

However, you can now ask whey c has the value it does, and not some 
other value. It appears to be built into the fabric of reality. Why? 
Because it just is.
