Rubberized deck paint

We tried Interdeck - not what you're asking about, but when you decide not to go with the rubberized stuff because it wears so fast you will likely consider using Interdeck instead. The section we applied it to looked OK for most of a season, but then started to seem sort of shabby and worn. Dull. Britesides was lasted for somewhat less than a week on our foredeck. Foot traffic and gear gave it scratches. It is perhaps supposed to be used for topsides rather than decks. We ended up using 2-part polyurethane with nonskid grit, which held up for about 12 years before sections where the jib sheets chafed on the cabin top started to wear off.
Interdeck and brightside were on a previous boat when I bought it. It was as harsh as bare feet could handle. I gave an abrasion rash once or twice when I lost balance. Plenty of grip though. Brightside was flaking off in high flex areas such as the cockpit sole. I have no experience with ruberized coatings but any paint that you put over it, needs to be very flexible. I suspect that is why @dLj was questioning its longevity
