why do people say "at least u are the sp-rm that won the race!"

i have thought about this for ages because it is just not true. there is no race.. the egg just chooses the sp-rm it wants and boom done. why not say "the egg chose you!!" or something? thats still supportive? why say something that just isnt true??? i understand if you didnt know, but yeah why would anyone even start this concept to begin with? am i missing something here?
