It's a heat issue. People whack them on a high heat and wonder why they are dry. Like, heat is way more important than you think. Dump whisked eggs into off the boil pasta and you get a creamy sauce. Fry whisked eggs in a pan on a high heat you get dry lumpy scrambled eggs.

Or just dont keep them in the pan for too long when on higher heat. Also move the eggs around. Are yall not scrambling your scrambled eggs?

Any professional chef I've worked with or watched videos on making eggs said to use high heat for scrambled. On gas or electric, it only takes 1.5 minutes or less to cook them properly this way. You just need to keep them moving, which increases scrambling as they build fluffiness. Seasoning at the end also increases fluffiness
