re: People with the title of “Dr.” who aren’t doctors

The title is not exclusive to medical doctors and predates modern medicine. Anyone who has earned a recognized doctoral degree earns the right to the title of doctor.
People with honorary doctoral degrees have not earned that right other than within the community of the University awarding the title.

This is true. But honestly, I'm probably not calling any of them Dr., including MDs. Why do they get a title? They're not better than me. I'm calling almost everyone by their first name. If they're not calling me a title...neither am I.
