As someone with a doctorate, who works at a startup with 19 other PhDs, and who has worked with many PhDs in my postdocs and grad school, I also have never once heard any of my friends or colleagues insist on being called doctor in a serious manner.

Yeah, for me it's basically

First Name > Full Name > Dr. Last Name > Mr. Last Name.

because I am not in a situation where I have to worry about being disrespected (as CovXY said, minorities and women often will make sure people use their title because if they don't they tend to be more disrespected). But if someone is insisting on being formal I'd rather they get it right than not.

Edit: To be clear, this is still mostly in a work setting. I don't care what the electric company representative, etc. call me on the phone.
