Why the speed of light is c in the vacuum?

I´ve seen people proposing that light is contantly subject to a 'drag' by the vaccum energy. That would result in its observed speed. It would be akin the the slowing produced by interactions in a medium, like water. But I´m sure people more knowledgeable than me here can easily show why this idea is rubbish.
