It can happen to any drywall really, and you have to look very close but you’ll see that joins are proud of the surface because of the tape and mud applied over them. It’s not the kind of thing that matters but if you have a very keen eye they’ll stick out like a sore thumb
It is a quick and easy way to hide bad drywall work. The texture makes imperfections blend in.
Not just bad drywall. No matter how good of a sheet rocker you are gaps and tape will always be visible through paint without some kind of texture
This is what feathering your edges is for…
It just takes more time.

Wait what? Is this specific to ceilings? Because I’ve hardly ever noticed drywall seams under paint
