free yourself from the constraints of any particular spatial reference.

An azimuthal projection that is conformal (The correct shapes of small features are preserved. In other words, shapes are not distorted.). Size distortions become large at the edges.

All great circles (e.g. the equator, lines of longitude, the day/night terminator) are straight lines. Imagine a light source at the center of the earth projecting an image of the earth onto a plane. Distortions are extreme at the edges of the map. No more than one hemisphere can be seen at one time.

The earth as it would appear if viewed from a finite distance. No more than one hemisphere can be viewed at one time.

Using instanced draw or similar.

Relative areas of land masses are correct.

For example the air quality of an H3 grid cell.

Relative distances from the center point of the map are correct.

down near the center longitude/latitude transforms.

Grabbing an invisible handle is a bit too "use the force".

Many world maps use this projection. Compass directions (loxodromes or rhumb lines) between locations are correct. Size distortions are extreme at the top and bottom of the map.

Relative areas of land masses are correct.
