I seem to remember that we tried this several years ago. Use a high quality ziplock bag, maybe even freezer bag. Seems the bags leaked into the pot.
To answer the "why," my best guess is that you can cook, say, 3 or 4 omelets at the same time. And I would not cook eggs, or anything else for that matter, in plastic in the microwave. It releases plasticizers, a know carcinogen, into the food.
We think alike too much of the time!
