Just realized Ive been painting trim wrong for 12 years

I was touching up some baseboards in my hallway last weekend and noticed the paint was peeling in these tiny little ridges. Turns out I never sanded between coats, I just slapped on a second layer right after the first dried. A buddy who does finishing work came over and pointed out that I need to sand with 220 grit and wipe down with a tack cloth every single time. He did one short section while I watched and the difference was night and day, smooth as glass. We spent 4 hours redoing my living room trim that I thought was fine. Has anyone else been skipping this step for years and just figured it out?
