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.
So that's why Zimmerman was an outcast who only had holograms to keep him company? He was a bit brusque? The only other person that tried to keep him company was Barclay, largely because he saw a lot of himself in Zimmerman.
Like I said, it's something to be worked on, not necessarily a fatal flaw... but to downplay it like you are is vastly under stating his issues.
I'm not saying they don't have personality problems just that they are pretty neurotypical. Being self centered isn't autism.
