Sure but the eggs haven’t died for us. They aren’t fertilised either so have no chance of becoming a chicken

That’s like saying you don’t mind buying blood diamonds because diamonds are just a rock. Of course they contributed to death, but in essence they are just a shiny rock.

No, it’s like me saying diamonds are minerals and the procurement does not matter.
You are thinking too hard. I never alluded to eating eggs or cheese being ethical or not. Cheese is complicated because of the bacteria that makes it, not because it came from an animal.

Ah I see, things dying for us is completely free of ethics. Silly me thinking too hard.
