I found nowadays developers tend to use gypsum plastering for indoor wall
A layer of thin cement plastering on brick then a layer of thin gypsum plastering on top cement again Instead of a thick layer cement plastering on brick
Any benefit from using gypsum plastering?

Easy for developer. Faster, No shrinkage so no crack like cement if poorly done or wrong method. You can google comparison in Internet https://happho.com/gypsum-plaster-advantages-disadvantage/

I think it is usually called skimcoat over here. There is base and finishing coat for it. It is still the same work sequences, just that the thickness of the wall may be reduced (More suitable for AAC block and internal wall).
