Thus making facehuggers redundant.
In
Alien, the Xeno was capturing people and was changing them into eggs. As time is going on, its life was reaching to the end. In this case and from the Alien's point of view, better have :
- 3 certain eggs (leaving Parker aside) and one survivor (Ripley) : that means changing Lambert into an egg, or
- 2 certain eggs and a possible third one (Ripley) and no survivor : that means impregnating Lambert with a chestbuster ?
(this is the 'worst case' : the Xeno is not supposed to know there is only one survivor)

It could be both. Look at a parasitic wasp, it has on ovipositor with a needle at the end, but it's less practical than a tail
