I have known folks in congregations I’ve been a part of who were over the line into worshipping the printed Scriptures. I was dangerously close, myself during parts of my life.
However, I haven’t observed it to be a ragingly common thing. And at it’s worst, it was still greatly different—greatly less in intensity and focus than what I’ve observed with respect to Mary et al.
The people overly focused on the Printed Scriptures STILL would have insisted, though somewhat inaccurately, consciously and verbally that they were NOT obsessed with the printed Scriptures but were instead focusing on their Author.

You have put your finger directly on the same point that Cronos, by his own words, indicated. You have put your finger directly on that of which I am NOT speaking. There, maybe if I shout a tiny bit, you will take me seriously.
