It’s by design

It’s getting to the point that it’s almost worth going back to cable since they all have streaming now too. Why pay for 6 subscriptions when you could have just one like we did in the 80’s.

New bottom paint? This really isn’t a big deal. If your other bottom paint looks good then just do a little sanding (with a respirator, obviously) and paint that section. If your whole bottom needs painting then sand the whole bottom with 80 grit (spending a little more time on the chipped sections) and then repaint. The 80 grit leaves scratches (keys) for the new paint to lock onto.

If you know what kind of bottom paint is on it then find a compatible bottom paint (they’re not universally compatible). If you don’t know then find one with the most compatibility across paints. What you don’t want to do unless unavoidable is to need to sand down to gel coat because that’s a lot of work.
