It's almost amusing.
I've been around plenty of Ph.D. chemists and physicists etc. They were
regularly called "Doctor" and it never once came up. Maybe I've been fortunate
not to work with petty people.
"Librarian" is another as it does have a very specific meaning (used to
be reserved for someone with a Master's of Library Science degree but
has likely expanded as that ceased to be the only path in the 1990s.)
The "hackles up" that I largely saw in my 15-odd years of working for
universities was by those with the degrees when people innocently called
those of us without by that title, and the resulting ire was usually
directed at us rather than the people who made the mistake.
It's among the reasons that I'm glad I went corporate four years ago.
