If the chicken egg is unfertilized, why do vegans not eat eggs???

Chickens lay eggs regardless of fertilization… meaning they wont turn into a baby chick 🐤 unless fertilized.

I get if you’re vegan you dont want to eat the egg cause it can become an animal which is perfectly fine. But if you know the egg is not fertilized why cant you eat it???

It will literally go bad!

Edit: Okay i didn’t think this was going to get this much traction lol. I probably should have specified not commercial eggs since i know factory farming is unethical. I was a vegetarian for many years. I think it was just a random thought if given that the chickens were raised ethically (local farm, pasture raised, unfertilized, etc.) because I know many will not eat it anyway so i posted! Anyways thank you for all of the responses, I definitely learned a lot!
