more exposure to the higgs field -> more mass -> more resistance to acceleration,

not the other way...
We don't seem to be disagreeing. Your train of logic is what I was trying to say minus acceleration increasing higgs exposure. I didn't mean to suggest that accellleration increases mass of and by itself.

the end postulation is that the higgs field is the reason nothing can travel faster than light.

Let's say it's one reason - if there were no Higgs field, the strong interaction would still give several particles masses, but they would be a thousandfold smaller. Still, there would be massive particles. My masters thesis advisor has written an entire series of papers exploring what the world would look like without the Higgs field.
