People certainly do eat raw eggs. In the UK, the vast majority of eggs are from vaccinated chickens ("Lion Mark") and are considered safe to eat raw. Raw egg yolks taste much better than cooked egg yolks IMO. And there is an old idea of eating raw eggs as a protein supplement for athletes, eg. Sylvester Stallone does it in Rocky. This is now discredited but eggs are cheap and easily available so people probably still do it.

They pasteurize by putting the eggs in hot water for a few minutes, so it's a simple process that you could actually do at home (but getting it right is tricky). I have a prairie oyster for breakfast sometimes: one unbeaten raw egg, a few dashes of worcestershire sauce, a little Tabasco, salt and pepper, and then you kindof eat it like it's a raw oyster. It's an acquired taste.
