I’m telling you, this stuff isn’t the future, it’s the present, and if your doctor doesn’t at least make you aware of the option, he is ignorant and behaving unethically.

Science is telling you, this stuff isnt proven, its merely suggested in a few studies among many other unsupporting studies, and if your doctor even suggests otherwise, he is probably trying to take your money and behaving unethically.
25 - 30 years.

Hogwash. Almost nothing in musculoskeletal medicine is supported by a high level of evidence. There is more evidence behind orthobiologics than almost any other treatment modality. More than surgery, more than PT. Academics and bureaucrats attack it because it they didn’t invent it and can’t control it. It came about and succeeded because maverick doctors did a supposedly “bad” thing by charging for a new treatment that academics and bureaucrats knew nothing about. They feel threatened by the doctors using this stuff, so they attack.

Then how do you explain the massive numbers of well developed studies that show no support for PRP? It is pretty rigorously studied at this point, if there was anything there, it would be supported.
Your argument is basically "it has no support of scientific studies because the scientists are jealous."

Well then, you ought to be able to tell us where we can find this evidence.
There is no such thing as "musculoskeletal medicine" until the doctors reclaim the spine from chiropractors and osteopaths as a subject of real medicine.
Currently they do absolutely nothing to prevent the chronic degeneration and warping of the average spine, content merely to hand out palliatives like opioids to make things worse. Without spinal health, the rest of the skeleton can't be healthy either.
