In regards to Egg Morphing, one of the things I like about it is that it makes the Xenomorphs a much bigger threat. If all it takes is one normal drone for a colony to start up, it's so much more dangerous and costly to cross paths with them.
Having everything you need to kickstart a colony being contained within either a Facehugger OR a Xenomorph makes it a very robust system, impossible to eradicate, unless you kill off every single one of them.
I was always under the assumption that if a single Xenomorph is able to set up a colony and swarm a place, the only logical thing is that said Xeno could become a Xeno Queen (I don't think the lore has clarified how a Queen is created mind you), or otherwise how are the eggs produced and Queen created? Turning people into eggs kinda feels redundant if that is correct + less efficient since it requires two people to make a single Xeno while the Queen option is "better". Only exception may be in smaller places that wouldn't support a Queen's size.
Would love for a movie to explore the concept more of course.
