If you first put the egg in while the water is already boiling, it will be harder to peel.*
Myself and many others have noticed ourselves having a harder time peeling boiled eggs than years back. The peel just kept sticking to the egg white, and it would take so long and still take chunks of egg white with the shell.
For us at least, I think it's because in more modern times we have all gotten used to pre-boiling water in our kettles usually as it's much faster than in a pot and then putting in the food.
Put to the test, this seems to be the issue in our household
So for more peelable boiled eggs, instead of pre-boiling water in the kettle first, put the eggs in the water before the water has started to boil. Let it slowly begin to cook as the temperature of the water rises, and you may find a world of a difference in the ease of peeling afterwards.
*At least according to what has happened so far in my experimentation 🥼
