Oil based enamel still soft... three years later. What went wrong?

Not sticky to the touch, but certainly soft and easily dented, objects stick, color rubs off with point friction.... essentially, no sign of the hard candy-coating shell of armor I’m used to with oil-based. Sprung for the $$ primer and paint from the dealer, and ended up with results that dollar-store acrylic craft paint puts to shame.

Resigned to stripping to bare wood and starting fresh, but wondering what went wrong so I can avoid a repeat. Certainly application and environmental factors can extend cure time - but what could possibly inhibit curing entirely?
