I mean, didn’t you just answer your own question? T2 diabetic here with petty strict dietary guidelines, and eggs are a staple in my diet.
Even disregarding that, I can only think of a few baking recipes that require zero eggs. Most baked goods require eggs, or at minimum egg wash.
Eggs are also a good source of protein at a relatively low caloric intake. And until recently we’re much more affordable than other protein sources. You could get 5 dozen at Sam’s Club for like $10.
For things like cake, there's a lot of options you can use to replace eggs.
Further, things like brioche which require them aren't really a need. When people talk about "Let them eat cake" it was actually closer to "Let them eat brioche." If you can't live without brioche, you've got bigger problems.
Standard bread does not need eggs.
You mentioned cake and bread. I’m talking low carb options. Quiche and things of that nature. Again, I’m a T2 diabetic. I’m sure as hell not eating cakes.
Not to enter into this argument but there are very delicious quiches that are vegan (use a scrambled tofu instead of egg).

Nothing wrong with that, tofu is great. Especially fried. 🤤
Unfortunately I’ve tried going that route and for a good six months I mostly ate beans and stews and more vegetarian/vegan friendly meals with less or no meat as an experiment and all that happened was lower energy levels, regular exhaustion, the need to supplement more vitamins than I already do, and my glucose levels spiking higher and more frequently. Wasn’t good for me (though tofu is still great, IMO).
When I think baking, I think cakes and bread, not.... quiche (like no shit a quiche needs eggs). You said "most baked goods," not "most baked goods a T2 diabetic can eat." I'd say cake and bread fall under "most baked goods."
