Am I being an awkward customer here? Hairline cracks keep coming back after bathroom plastering

they are straight (as shown in one of my photos), they are square pretty much (and therefore i assume follow the lines of the plasterboard.

You'd anticipate such cracks to come through plasterboard D&D'd to the brick wall? Surely unlikely, and certainly not random.

Surely waterproof p'board D&D'd on the bare walls - tho' a lot more work - would have sorted this?

This is seemingly what was quoted for. I imagine the movement causing these cracks is in the bonding coat, as it seemingly responds to moisture - ie showering.

Timber moves quite a lot with changes in moisture.

the cracks on the stud wall pretty much dissapear and on the brick wall become way less obvious when ive taken a shower
