ᐅ Poor painting work or faulty plastering?

Hello everyone!
Something doesn’t seem right here, but I’m a complete beginner, and the painter is blaming the plasterer, and vice versa.
What do you think—is it poor plastering or poor painting?

Well, it has to do with the quality of the plaster. The question is what was agreed upon with each trade?
I assume Q2 finish for the plaster (looks like it) and sometimes a white matt finish with the painter (looks like it).
If no preparation for smooth walls was agreed with any of them, then none of them did it.
By the way, this is how it looks in parts of my upper floor where I didn’t sand well.
On the ground floor, I had painter’s fleece wallpapered (or had it done). There I have nicely smooth walls and ceilings. I did all the painting myself.

What’s your opinion: poor plastering or poor painting?

Please be specific. From your point of view, what exactly is wrong? What do you think is faulty or poorly done? What agreements were made with the plasterer and what with the painter? Who did what?
It might also be a service delivered exactly as ordered. Based on the photos, I cannot identify any defects at this point.

I think you can clearly see what @Sandra84 means, but yes, this does not necessarily have to be considered a defect, depending on what was agreed upon.

I assume Q2 for the plaster (that’s how it looks) and a basic paint finish with the painter (that’s what it seems).
If no one agreed to prepare the walls for a smooth finish, then no one did it.

On the ground floor, I had wallpaper with painter’s fleece applied (or had it applied). There, the walls and ceilings are nicely smooth. I painted everything myself.

I think that was exactly our mistake.
The plaster is Q2, and the painter just painted over it.
Can you tell me if it’s still possible to fill and sand it afterwards, or is it now a problem?
Thanks for your help!

It’s not about a defect.
I just want to find out what happened and then have it corrected at my own expense.
I suspect that no additional filling and sanding were done.
Now I’m wondering if the painter can still do that.
