New look jumper has bobbled so quickly

I bought an 100% acrylic knit jumper from new look on the 8th of this month. So 10 days ago. I’ve worn it 4 times and haven’t washed it yet (I shower twice a day and wear lots of deodorant). I went to put it in the wash and realised that it’s really bobbly at the waist and arms. I think that this is ridiculous? I appreciate that it’s an inexpensive jumper but 4 times wear for bobbles? If I sold it on vinted I could only label it as good. I’m not going to sell it but just for context. AIBU to think that this is ridiculous?

Get an electric debobbler - they work really well. But anything made of fluffy-looking artificial yarn is inevitably going to pill badly.
