I was going to say that it's probably because people who had access to wheat would more likely have access to eggs, but it seems Chickpeas and Wheat were both first found around Turkey.

I just assume it is because we've had eggs longer than canned goods.

Also, even though aquafaba from freshly cooked chickpeas also works well, I'm guessing that, until recently, chickpeas weren't super common in the part of the world where the European pastry tradition developed.
