"Dr." started as a title for academic doctors before it became a title for physicians Whatever your own feelings may be, the original idea of the title was always to indicate that PhDs are at the top level of expertise in their field, not that medicine is a unique fieldhttps://twitter.com/meghan_daum/status/1256267018992521217 …

Isnt a doctorate usually the terminal degree in the field?

A lot of times, no - it's technically supposed to work like that but in practice it doesn't An MBA is considered the terminal professional degree in the field of business, for instance (PhDs in "business administration" exist but this is considered a separate "academic track")
