I take 20,000 a day most days and remain towards the low end of normal, very far from any sort of toxicity. Most doctors that understand vitamin d seem to recommend at least 2000-5000 units per day now, some as high as 10,000. And that's just what they're willing to recommend when going against the previously standard daily dose of well under 1000. They make single pills this big for a reason.

"The recommended daily amount of vitamin D is 400 international units (IU) for children up to age 12 months, 600 IU for people ages 1 to 70 years, and 800 IU for people over 70 years."
during COVID, ppl were taking 20k a week prescribed by their doctors, so this is nothing in comparison

That does not mean that everyone should go around shooting themselves in the head
Those with prescriptions for vitamin D are usually vitamin D deficient

does someone in arizona need this? probably not. However its probably the most common dosage in the northeast and PNW.
IIRC you can take like 7500-10k iu a day without toxicity. just generally do not need that much if not deficient.
i take the 5000iu with k2 from now plus whatever is in my multivitamin and my labs are always good.
