They serve to keep bread at a cool, constant temperature, keep the mice away, and help keep the bread from going stale.
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.
