Why would you peel a carrot?
... is the most upvoted stackoverflow answer.
This is a classic XY problem. My ex would often ask me why I wouldn't peel carrots.
Depending on the carrot, the skin can be significantly more bitter. And sometimes peeling can be quicker than trying to scrub dirt out of particular lumpy carrots.
YMMV
I tend not to when cooking for myself )unless it's been in the fridge for a while and the skin is a bit unappealing, no pun intended), but some people prefer carrots peeled for aesthetic reasons.
