Extreme? I mean he’s a bit self centered but i wouldn’t call him narcissistic or egotistical. The few times in the series he’s a complete whack job is due to his programming being corrupted
The EMH mark 1 was discontinued (only as a doctor, they continued to operate as miners) for being irritable and having bad bedside manner, not because they were narcissistic. They were based on Zimmerman’s personality who was also a bit brusque and irritable. Those qualities are fine in an engineer, not so much in a doctor.

His entire version line had to be decommissioned because of their personality problems. That’s not just his programming being corrupted.
He, as a person, worked very hard to overcome those problems… but he still has them.
