Unlike most birds, why can chickens continuously produce infertile eggs?

So, I guess(?), duck and quail eggs are available (but people actively breed both and would have eggs….) but I know that turkeys and geese have a breeding season. Also, wild birds only lay fertile eggs in season to reproduce.

Because when chickens were domesticated they had continuous food, rather than having to wait for blooming seasons to eat and repopulate, so they just keep popping out eggs
