It's because of the air sack or pocket that is in the egg is at the rounded end. So you keep this end up and it helps the egg retain it's moisture, keeps the yolk more in the center of the white and also reduces breakage of the point which is where the white or the liquid insides of the egg would be. you don't want to place an egg with the air pocket down as you would be asking for a new space to form in the pointy end.

For soft boiled eggs I put them in boiling water to get the time correct. This means I have the prick the egg on the rounded side for the air to get out, otherwise it may crack while boiling. If the egg comes point side down in the egg carton everything works well. If not, some egg white may come out as the egg is placed in the boiling water. Also, when the egg is peeled it will look like the craters of the moon.
