I mean, one of the points of either popcorn or orange-peel ceilings is to hide imperfections. Go back and fill those minor holes with any of the dozen options available for specifically small holes in wall/ceiling.

As-is, it looks like either actual incompetence (given the obvious nature of the fix) or weaponized incompetence.
