A soft-boiled egg loses heat quickly. The egg-cozy keeps the egg warm for the long trek from the kitchen to the dining room (or bedroom if we're talking breakfast in bed). In a country where they've only just discovered central heating, and mostly still seem to refuse to use it, a warm breakfast is a good thing.
