If the higgs field did not exist, particles would not have enough mass to attract each other, and the universe as we know it would not exist.
So while I do not know if there is some particular cause of the higgs field, no reality like ours would exist without it, and realities without it would not look like anything we recognize (although maybe scientists could simulate it).
