A PhD can be a pretty raw offer for most people STEM or not. There is the lost opportunity financially for many, socially, some psychological damage, damage to health, and that is assuming you find a job using your degree after you finish. Frequently you move from your degree to consulting which just lines you up for more chaos depending on the field.
Some people are trying to make things better but there are always professors who push against making things better because they ultimately need output as much as rhe student needs their degree, if not more so.
I have yet to recommend someone do a doctoral program though I am always sure to mention that my case and observed cases aren’t the only scenarios available.

Haha, I’m one of the extra damaged cases but I’m here out of spite. My first supervisor had to be removed. Almost done. >:)
Congratulations! Hope things finish quickly and as smooth as they can be.
Me too.
