As someone who has struggled with weight for the majority of my life, food and hunger is a constant battle. Being able to just drink something to make the hunger go away without being worried about eating too much or making an impulse decision to buy something unhealthy saves a lot of stress, and makes it much easier to control your diet. While I don't know what OPs reasons are for drinking it, there are usually valid reasons behind it that aren't just hating food.

Two or three scrambled egg with a goid amount of olive oil or coconut oil usually keep me full for longer stretches over the day without cravings.
That would be fine, but the amount of time that would take to prepare isn't something I would do in the morning. But being able to get a drink out of the fridge makes it much easier
Scrambled eggs literally take two minutes to make. Very similar to how long it takes to mix up some Soylent.

I suspect your real issue is that like most you wake up to an alarm so you're still mostly asleep during breakfast time. And until it's routine scrambling eggs requires higher cognitive function...

Indeed, scrambled egg are ready in no time. You can even scramble them in the evening and keep in the fridge until morning. If you have a stove with a timer you can just slosh them in the pan and eat without stirring after a couple of minutes.
How much exercise are you doing?
I exercise every day. But the amount that I eat has always been more of an issue for me. It doesn't matter how much you exercise if you eat too much
