Because washing the eggs allows you to cover up the fact that the hens are crammed so tight that the eggs are covered in shit by the time they’re collected.
Making it illegal to wash the eggs forces farmers to maintain some semblance of sanitary conditions.

They’re often crammed very tight in Europe as well, but it depends on the type of egg you buy. Having a tiny bit of shit on it is uncommon, and people understand that it’s going to happen sometimes with a natural product that comes out of a chicken’s ass.
