How wide are your bathroom and bedroom doors?

Are there issues, or is it just something that bothers you? I would leave it alone unless there’s a problem you’re trying to solve. But it’s your house, and your personal satisfaction has value, too.

If you don’t mind spending the money on a new door make it bigger or go to 30” like the other doors in the area…but I wouldn’t spend the money if I really didn’t have too.

It’s pretty common for bathroom doors to be 28”, wider doors on bedrooms are intended to make it easier to move furniture etc it. The problem with a wider door on a bathroom is that the doors usually swing in, and it can make a small bathroom feel VERY small if the door corners you into the back of the room, or uses up all your wall space that could be used for towel bars or cabinets. I always think it’s best to give the illusion of more space IN a small room over having a perfectly matched set of doors in the hallway. That’s my opinion anyways. The right answer is always what works and looks best to you.

If the existing 30” openings feel comfortable to you, then I think you should go with 30” to match them. All of my doors are 30” and feel comfortable to me, and that’s what I did for the new bathroom door (pocket door). 28 inches is a little cozy and you should make it bigger while you have the chance.
