Not true it does tell you why it doesn't give you the mechanism.


If QM tells us why then you can explain why:
C is the universal speed limit
Energy comes in quanta associated with Planck's Constant
The Pauli Exclusion Principle works
A lot of other basic laws of physics are the way they are

C is not the speed of light in a vacuum.
C is the universal speed limit.
