Accu have M16 x 150 eye bolts in A4:
Also:
www.westfieldfasteners.co.uk
The ACCU page gives the DIN standard number, so searching on that might find other sources.
Proper gate eye bolts (which DIN 444 are not, nor is your example picture) are sized by the pin diameter (see https://www.dciron.co.uk/collections/adjustable-eye-bolts). On DIN 444 items, the hole diameter is the same as the thread diameter (so here it is is 16mm). That means the pin on which the eye swings must be 16mm.

They are likely not made as a commercial product. Supply and demand in a capitalist economy.
The closest you will get are the DIN444 ones and they are partially threaded. That may or may not be vital to your use. It would be difficult to convert one of them to fully-threaded (as the threads are likely rolled so the unthreaded part would be undersize).
Find someone who would weld a length of M16 stainless allthread onto the side on an M16 hex. nut* and drill out the threads in the nut.
Where did you find the ones that will necessitate a bicycle for daily transport? Share the link as that might help us locate alternatives. Half the battle is finding the correct name to search for.
Have you looked at marine/marina and boat suppliers (salt water related money-burning occupations)?
* you would need a nut from the 'heavy' series as a standard M16 nut is only 13mm tall (https://u-bolts-r-us.co.uk/hexagon-...de-8m-t316-stainless-steel-5055624417920.html). You could also use an M16 stainless allthread connecting nut as that would be more than long enough.
