Note that this is also how our own world works. Typical time scales of processes get faster as the length scales shorten. Somehow it feels inevitable for a dynamic multiscale structure.

In the real world, there is a limit set by the speed of light and the Planck scale. And more generally, physics is very much not scale-invariant.
armchair physicist moment: isn't this a straightforward outcome of c as a global "speed limit"? effects can't propagate faster than c, so I would expect that interaction "latency" decreases linearly with scale.
