Normally I buy onions in two pound bags.

Or sometimes one or five pound bags, if I can't find a two pound bag or if the deal is really good that way.

Today I could only get a ten pound bag.

Who the hell is eating all the onions!?

Nobody. The stores choose to sell only large bags to make more onions go bad, forcing you to spend more money to get yet another large bag you know will go bad before you finish them all :(

No, I'll use them. If anything, I can caramelize a large batch and freeze it. The store definitely had stocked the normal sizes already, they were just clean out, and probably that same day. I think they'd rather sell the normal sizes anyway, because they sell for $1 a pound instead of $0.75 a pound at that size.

I just mind because the 10 pound bag doesn't have that many more onions than the 2 pound bag, it's just that the onions are larger. And I like to use one onion at a time, not half an onion and then save the other half in the fridge.

I've had it go both ways. Sometimes, a 10-pound bag has been larger onions and, sometimes, it's been many, many, wee ones (1.5- or 2-inch). The small ones are useful, as you say, for small jobs but they also tend to be very thin-skinned and a pain to peel.
