To be fair, you originally said, “the real reason,” but have just listed three different equal reasons.

Bread can’t go stale if the mice keep eating it. There’s an order of operations here.

I don’t know that I agree that breadboxes were solely used in times/cases where the risk of mice getting to the bread was present but I get your reasoning.

As with many things it starts for one reason, then a different benefit comes up, becomes a norm just because, then petters out.
