Any answer is subject to the follow-up question, well why does that thing exist? Why did that happen?
If a question cannot be answered, there's no point in asking it I think.
Other questions about the physical laws governing the big bang or inflation or black holes can be answered, although they might be very difficult to answer.
I never made any claim starting from the premise that the question "is philosophical"
I directly explained why the question can't be answered definitively.
Lots of philosophical questions actually can be answered.
Brahman, Prime mover, are great explanations as to why there must be a causeless entity, something that is not ruled by material nature in order to be the causeless source of it. The cause of all causes that is causeless itself.
Various kinds of faith (religious, scientific, etc) can stop infinite regress.

Easy peasy.
If something has a cause then it's ruled by cause and effect. If something is causeless, it not only does not need a reason to exist but is also the entity that puts forth cause and effect in motion. Kinda similar to Aristotle's concept of the prime mover.

Wu-Wei sounds very much like Karma Yoga and Yin-Yang too. It's all very much like the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita.
To make it even trickier: it isn't only religious people who are affected by faith, though clever word play, cultural norms, etc can make it appear otherwise.
how can you prove a question cannot be answered?
I don't know, but it's fascinating to think about.
