Why do nearly all guides to seasoning a wok say to fry an egg?

Question

I flaired this as “other” because I don’t know if this is a science or cultural question. I can’t think of why it would be important other than to test that it has become “nonsticky.”

egg proteins are verrry sticky til they cook to a certain point.

If the wok is actually seasoned then the egg shouldn’t be sticking to the wok.
