I think it says more about how much longer we've been using eggs, as well as how much more demand there is for alternatives today.
I was going to say that it's probably because people who had access to wheat would more likely have access to eggs, but it seems Chickpeas and Wheat were both first found around Turkey.

Agree, it will be so cool when we can have everything eggs offer and none of the cruelty.
There are plenty of cruelty free sources for eggs. Go with a reputable free range grower or if you live in the countryside or even suburbs, there are usually neighbors that sell their excess eggs.
If you're a chicken, do you want to live forever in a cage, or be eaten alive by a bigger bird? Neither of those choices sound great to me.
Not to knock the wonderful developments that have happened in plant-based foods in the last decade, but this really makes me appreciate the egg all the more. Some of the egg alternatives seem to require a degree in chemical engineering to get right. Between the many magical uses of the yolk and white (both separately and together), you appreciate how versatile a collection of fats and proteins it really is. And how u…

I just assume it is because we've had eggs longer than canned goods.

I'm glad with all those development into egg-free alternatives. My wife is severely allergic to eggs, and this really opened the door to produce she couldn't never have eaten otherwise.

I would strongly disagree that any commercial operation - regardless of its labeling - could be called cruelty free. That leaves neighbors with backyard hens, which will never be enough cover any significant portion of egg consumption.
I mean, if you want cruelty free eggs you can just raise chickens. That’s something you can start working on now to meet 100% of your egg needs.

Pasture-raised isn't as cruelty-free as one might like. Big free range chicken farms have eagle problems: https://www.audubon.org/magazine/fall-2016/an-organic-chicke...

So you prefer to deny this chicken the chance to live any life because you can't make it perfect?
You want to distance yourself so far from cruelty that you don't want to let anything live until you are able to provide better conditions than any mythical god could? ;-)
