Why shoelace eyelets? Easily available and they just worked?

The eyelets randomize the motion of the expanding gases which reduces noise. They probably absorb some thermal energy and act a bit like a heatsink.

Wouldn’t they make the gun rattle a lot when walking around, though?

Not enough. They’re packed in tight enough that they don’t rattle around much.
