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?

I've found this with this with lots of things of all different prices including much more expensive wool or cashmere. The quality of fabrics these days seems much poorer.
