The Mercator hate is a remnant of the turn of the decade. The unprivileged "global south" is smaller than Greenland!!
Except that Google Maps (yes maps, not Google Earth) has shown a globe for a decade now.
And, of course, pupils do have access to a globe. But somehow, people always frame it as an unfulfilled necessity that perpetuates "global power imbalances" or stuff like that.
