Laugh if you want, but do you want the very first time to ever use it be when you are in a fight for your life?
You don't even know your range, your intensity, let alone how effective the spray is.
In that case you need to specify that practice means on another person like a friend or family member. Using it on yourself isn't going to teach you the effective range.

You don't need to spray anyone to learn the behavior of your spray. It's not a bad idea if everyone is up for it, but for obvious reasons most will not want to sign up for that job.
Nor is it necessary to hit yourself full blast to know what it's like. Just spray it in the air, then walk forward into the mist. It will give you enough of an idea.
Btw a number of sprays are now actually gels so this process would need modification.

Why not just practice spraying at a target? Does your advice apply to other weapons or just pepper spray?

Because you need to know how it affects a person, and you need to know how this specific formulation affects.
There is no standard and there is no guaranteed baseline. How do you know your selected spray is effective? Or, if you have to use it and there's some kind of struggle involved, how incapacitating will it also be to you? Knowing these things will help you to make use of force decisions during an emergency - when to use it, when not to, how far, how long to press, and so on.
It is for this same reason that police officers get sprayed and tased as part of their training.
