Default Weedy multi-purpose compost?

Every year, I sow various seeds into pots of multipurpose compost and
keep them indoors until ready to plant out. I've never had any weed
seedlings in the pots.

This year is different - I do have weeds. The only difference I can see
is that this year I'm using a well-known name instead of something from
a DIY shed.

Should I expect multipurpose compost to be sterile? Was I just lucky in
the past?
