I (Europe/Germany) put them in the fridge because the fridge came with an egg tray. Simple as that, never thought about leaving them outside. Maybe that's a simple answer to why many people put them in the fridge, independent of 'how long they will stay good'.

Everyone I know in Germany puts them in the fridge. Though I just realized, that the supermarkets/stores sell the eggs uncooled.

Same in Norway, except the supermarkets sell the eggs cooled as well.

My fridge came with a removable egg tray which I immediately removed so as to have more space for stuff that actually needs to be cold. Also I have never seen a fridge with an egg tray big enough for a weeks worth of eggs for a family of five so what's the point in having it.
