If you want to hear “the map is more accurate” from someone, I can tell you that the map is more accurate, unless you want to navigate or fly over the oceans.
Every map is imperfect, but the usual map you see everywhere (Mercator) was made for seafaring, not land usage. The new projection they voted for is new, so they probably considered a different compromise of objectives, and it doesn’t take much to be better than Mercator.
Ask yourself why the entire world voted for it, except the usual regressive country.

No I’m aware the map is more accurate, my argument was that this should be a map update not a social justice conquest, as if somehow this will make 1 bit of difference to this:
