First reason is that all these foods u lovingly displayed are nutritionally inferior to eggs.
It’s also the last reason
Idli, upma, dosa, cheela (there are many, many others) all part of delicious, healthy Indian breakfasts. For some odd reason, Indians today are stuck on the egg, the same food coming out of a hen's cloaca where the pee/poo also exits. They've forgotten our roots and tradition.
