Yeah, I'd rather get super cheap eggs all year and deal with the
holiday bump.

You gets what you pays for. Super-cheap eggs...yum :-\

Eggs are a loss leader. Has nothing to do with the quality.

So, glut is fine with you as long as it results in a saving over the real
price of egg production? You are prepared to accept falsified seasonal
shortages

I don't have any seasonal shortage. Plenty of eggs in the store,
and on sale, too.

for the purpose of generating greater wealth for the middle-man
in exchange for a product that may not be exportable because of its low
production cost and hence questionable quality? Be my guest :-)

I don't think I would enjoy that, but thanks. And if someone is
making money along the line, hey ... it's not as if there are egg
farms around the corner from me, someone's being paid to fill a
niche.
