What other "cause" do you want?

I must say I find the whole matter quite perplexing.
I thought time dilation was an effect not a cause.
I am told a muon in its own frame lasts one microsecond yet covers the
distance requiring 22.
I am told it's hard for the uninitiated to understand what the
uninitiated recognize as pure ignorant nonsense.
So, the relativist's rather inarticulate position is that, of course,
the muon's decay rate is either the same as the time dilation or is
caused by the time dilation. They call time dilation lifetime equating
the two as if they were the same thing or as if there is any need for
time dilation.
Is time dilation the same as lifetime?
Is time dilation the cause of the different lifetime?
Is time dilation the same as decay rate or its cause?
How can time dilation be a cause and why would it explain anything of
the physics?
