All may be true but nowhere in the NT is the world father routinely combined with someone’s name as a title of honor for all to use. That is the hyperbole and seeking a place of public honor Jesus was talking about. There is a difference between calling someone your spiritual father and expecting everyone to call that person father as an honorific whether they know the person or not.
And the interesting part is that in other parts of the world, the address for Catholic priests differs — for instance in Poland we address a priest as Ksziądz - or “priest” - so “Hello, Priest”
