Totally. 👍. Well said
Although I had a prof who was a JD who INSISTED on Dr. so she could be on par with the other instructors. But then no one liked her. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Comment on Do PhDs HAVE to use Dr?

No one has to do anything. Live your life. Choose how you want to be addressed.
You don’t hear lawyers going around being called Dr. Lastname, despite having JDs.

To be fair, lawyers get the much cooler Esquire, AND it is appended to the end of their name instead of the front. Definitely stands out more than the generic Doctor.
Although only a douchenozzle would insist on it being used.
