Completely agree - when trying to use a map to understand things about the world that humans care about (the normal use-case of world maps!), it helps to have the places-where-things-that-humans-care-about easily visible and differentiable. On the other hand, humans care a lot about climate change and this affects the poles a great deal, and maybe a projection that centers the poles like this can help make these regions of the world more visible.
