That’s not my point. I am asking why with this mental illness the treatment seems to be to encourage the delusion rather than treat the delusion. And why do people seem ok with this treatment of encouraging the delusion?

I agree with all that. No one should force you to call anyone anything.
Then wouldn’t you deem being made to affirm a problem?
Because anyone not affirming their crazy is definitely a problem they have.
They tell me alcoholics & addicts cannot fix their problem until they admit they have one.
Schizophrenia, social anxiety disorder etc. apparently work the same way.

“Yes you really should drink that much. Yes there really is a man living in your head. Yes you are right to be scared of everyone you meet. etc.,” and lying to them positively does not help them, it does not even help them feel better.
