I wonder how many countries sell eggs in dozens vs tens. I know Japan sells 10. I feel like if the dozen concept isn’t in the language it’s kind of a random quantity.
Denmark here, depending on supermarket and brand, you usually get them in 6, 8 and 10. Less common is 4 and they are usually large eggs.
15 and 30 is also a thing but not something I look for so I might underrepresent them in my comment
Dozen is likely just technically easier, since if you split it in half, you get 6, but if you split 10 half, you get 5. And only 5 is harder to package. I’ve seen 4 eggs sold as well, but 6 and 12 are probably close enough, around the numbers people reasonably need.

Where I live in Colombia, we can get eggs in dozens, but it’s more common to find packs of 15 or 30 in the supermarket.
If I shop at the mom-and-pop tienda on my block, they’ll sell me exactly the number of eggs I ask for.
