Isn’t that just a way to average latency to match up with the other limbs? Nerve conndctions aren’t instantaneous lile electrical wires or fiber optics.
Your larynx isn’t really a limb… But nah, its an evolutionary artefact. In primordial fish it’s a straight line, but then the head moves, a neck forms, etc etc. and the nerve can’t detach and move over, so it gets longer wnd weirder.

Brain usually does that kind of sync on its own. Your conscious experience of reality is actually very slightly in the past because of that.

This is why it’s so jarring when what happens in real life doesn’t line up with the predicted reality your brain expects! I hate that feeling :D
