The Alien was designed to be an abomination. A monster in space that was like nothing anyone had ever seen before. Then JC comes along and turns the Alien into "Insects in Space".

I don't see how "the eggs just exist, okay?" is preferable to "the eggs are laid by a queen, which is merely the next logical step in the already insect like growth of xenomorphs (egg, larva, human cocoon, xeno butterfly)" But hey, whatever floats your boat.
