The salt will increase the boiling temperature a bit. Not sure what the
vinegar does. The boiling temperature will decrease at higher altitudes;
so if you're above 3500' elevation or thereabouts, that may impact
boiling temperature.
But it's true that you don't want eggs that are "too fresh". based on
what I've heard, you want them to be aged a little bit.

I do peel under cold water. Seems some are totally stuck to the egg.
Maybe I am not using enough vinegar in the water.
Many sites say to use both vinegar and salt in the water.
One site swears by dropping them into boiling water, then into an ice
bath after for perfect peeling.
They claim the cold start makes for hard peeling.
This site claims boiling start, salt, vinegar and a perfect outcome.
I may give it a try.

Buy eggs ahead of time and let them age before cooking helps a lot -
fresher eggs tend to be more sticky, older eggs peel easier.
Besides that I generally peel under running water which seems to
resolve about 99% of the problems. Not sure which property of water
helps in this case, but shells come right off.

Just peeled about 2 dzn eggs. Seemed like when I was a kid we put
vinegar in the water to help the shells slough off. But trying
the same trick today seems like the shells are super glued to the
egg. Anybody got a good method?
