Why does paint that has cured for over one month scratch off walls. Walls were clean and painted latex over latex with a premium primer all in one paint?

Primers are not water proofers, in fact primers can't be left as the
finish coat because they have no durability. If the paint acts as a
primer how can you expect the paint to stand up as a true finish
coat.
