Easier to target one egg cell than millions of sperm germ cells.
Sure. But the demand is here on both sides, not just one.
Male contraceptives allow men to have reproductive agency beyond condoms and vasectomy, and they can be used in couples where women prefer not to use non-barrier contraception for health reasons or personal reservations.
My situation right here. Condoms suck, vasectomy is too much, and birth control isn't on the table. Please give me a pill already.
