If I buy a painting though, it's irreplaceable and can't truly be replicated. Can't say the same of digital. I suppose there's "bragging rights", but if someone was like "I own the original doge image NFT" I think I'd roll my eyes and think less of them.

Exactly.

This is definitive proof that NFTs are still worth less than the physical version: [0]

It's really a certificate of you bragging about being a bag-holder of a photocopiable image.

Can’t I mint an NFT of the painting you own an NFT for and perhaps through my (fictional) celebrity status, my NFT becomes seen as the “main” one?

The NFT might or might not become the main one, but also the painting remains the painting - able to create as many other NFTs as they want if only for the lulz.
