I'm no expert, so I don't really know the answer. But, as an amateur DIYer, I find Dulux etc much easier to apply... and if you get decorators in for a quote, a lot will charge more if you're using F&B paint (or not quote you).

So from my experience and a trade decorator confirming, it's something to do with the fact that it reacts weirdly if not painted perfectly at once. You don't have much margin for error in comparison to Dulux/Leyland stuff.
If you repaint a little section over it will show quite significantly (Something to do with thickness of the different layers etc ...).
Leyland latex stuff and Dulux I've found brilliant

Dulux water-based is absolutely fine. We get colours mixed at the local trade place. For example, we really like Farrow and Ball Strong White as a dominant wall colour, but F&B paint is a cunt to apply.
That colour in Dulux water-based is spot on.
