It’s a universally accepted practice. They put the work to get a PhD, and they deserve it.
AS1, are you speaking from experience of getting one yourself or are you making an assumption? Because the dissertation process is still the dissertation process for any regionally accredited university.

Doctor is an academic title. I don’t see anything wrong with it if they earned it.
They did a doctorate, they are Doctors, they should be called Dr. Name. That is the correct title. The Medical doctor title came from wider academia not the other way.
We should give reference to those who give up years to study, are recognised by publishing and adding to our collective knowledge. It is not the same a bsc/MA you put after your name.
Pretentious
It depends
Context matters - I see no issues with it in a professional setting -
LinkedIn bio stating "Dr. John Smith is an expert on File Systems" is perfectly acceptable.
Responding with "I am a doctor" on a flight when the streward announces, "Is there a doctor on board" is stupid

I’d put Bob Boberson, PhD in my title and leave it at that.
What about people that have PHDs/DNPs in nursing ? What are they referred as ? Doctor’s ?
I’d prefer non-physician practitioners. Legally, they’re called “mid levels” which is ok, but they’d never call themselves that. Also, PAs just changed their names from physician assistants to physician associates (also super cringe).
One of my time members is a PhD and I have never even thought about using Dr. When referring to them. I associate it with researchers and thought leaders. So onc see you get a conference or public appearance under your belt, it will be much easier to get the buy-in
My middle school principal had a PhD in education and insisted we all call him “Dr. [Last Name].” We all thought it was ludicrous and made fun of him for it.
To me it’s appropriate if a principal chooses to go by Dr. - especially if the doctorate is in education - because she/he is in an academic setting
I knew an attorney once who (half-seriously) wanted to be called Doctor. It’s a Juris Doctor, after all.
Was talking about this in another thread. If they want to be called Dr whatever they should probably get a terminal degree such as the JSD.
