This is because egg shells, which are highly porous, are sprayed before sale with a thin coating of mineral oil that seals the egg.
Once you've boiled eggs, they have just one week until you should think twice about eating one. (That's assuming they've been stored in the fridge shortly after being boiled.) And if that hard boiled egg was peeled before being refrigerated, that knocks two more days off of its shelf life. Surprising, we know, especially when you consider the fact that eggs are safe for consumption for up to five weeks after purchase.
