why can’t 2 eggs fertilize each other?

I probably just have a really bad grasp on how genetics work, but if human eggs already have an X chromosome plus all the other necessary genes needed to combine with another haploid cell, why can’t 2 eggs just combine with each other to make an XX zygote?

It can in theory be done in a lab. Apparently Australian scientists have done it with two mouse eggs.
