I usually define the primaries as CMY rarher than RBY, and I'm not sure mixing equal amounts of primaries will get you secondaries. Secondaries are exactly in the middle. Depending on your pigments, mixing equal parts magenta and yellow will just result in an orangey reddish tone that definitely doesn't behave as a subtractive primary (subtractive primaries are additive secondaries and vice versa, and tertiaries are basically just everything else)

Yes. I think some models work better for some media, and i think there's also further tweaking that people will do around style - so for example someone who works in muted tones can just use red/blue/yellow as a baseline with each of those already a bit muted. Someone who does a lot of cool/warm contrasts with much internal variation will favour the split primary model. The more hues you usually put on your page, the further you might want to expand your ability to make very precise colour choices. For more subdued palettes, it's easier to eyeball colours when there are only three very distinct colour directions a hue can look - "more red" "more blue" "more yellow". But honestly I'm spitballing here because frankly colour theory has always been a nebulous mass for me - I know how to mix the colours I want and I know what tends to look the way I want it, but I switch media and colouring styles too much to have settled on a system that works and has actual rules and definitions.

My only big thing is that starting beginners on red blue yellow tends to do them a disservice in the 'mixing purple' department, which was why I commented, but honestly colour theory is a rabbit hole of epic proportions and now I feel like I might as well have written the darn blog post in the first place.
