[Avodah] Egg Matzas Mitzvah

[Akiva Miller via Avodah]

I understand that one cannot use Egg Matza for the mitzva of Achilas Matza,
but I'm not sure exactly why. I'm aware of two different reasons, and they
seem mutually exclusive.

1) The Torah requires that this mitzva be done with "lechem oni" - poor
bread, plain and lacking the richness that it would have if it were made
with eggs, juice, oil, or the like.

2) Matza must be something that could have become chometz, but was baked
before chimutz could occur. According to those who hold that flour and pure
mei peiros will not ever become chometz, "matza ashira" isn't really
halachic matza at all.

I suspect that I am conflating various shitos, and that according to any
individual shita, one reason or the other will apply, but not both. Can
someone help me out?

Thanks!
Akiva Miller
