It's just part of the general decline of formality in our society.
Medical doctors have made their profession their life's work. Tremendous self discipline for years of study while we musicians were out whooping it up. Having made it, they spend their work life making life-changing decisions for the people they treat. IMO that's worthy of respect. I don't begrudge the title for a medical doctor.
Most PhD holders do not use the title outside their professional environment, and that's how it should be. My father had a doctorate. At work, everybody called him "Doc". Outside of work, if anyone called him "Doctor", he would ask them not to.
