Which, at a global scale, is important in your life when exactly? The only time I move at a global scale I’m flying, and then the projection makes it look like my pilot doesn’t know how to fly in a straight line.
Since the advent of widespread GPS, a lot less. It’s historically interesting, and is still used as a backup by some ships, but it’s not really necessary the way it was in the age of sail when it became the projection.
Again, if they just want to switch to something more balanced as a default when you just want to point at things on a map, that’s entirely reasonable.
