Eggs from the grocery store peel because they are old. Maybe as much as a month old before they get to the store shelves. Your eggs don't peel because they are fresh. I don't like hard boiled eggs because of the green coating on the yoke. A pretty yellow yoked hard cooked egg is best achieved by using an egg that is at least 3 weeks old or by adding 1/4 c. salt to the water when cooking. Others have methods that work for them, but this is the only way I have been able to get a beautiful clean looking hard cooked egg.
