Some of Phil's and Andre's words require correction:
Just because it is so simple mathematically, the Plate Carree (or
equi-rectangular) projection is no less of a projection than others.
Like /all /projections, it has its distortions and yet it preserves some
geometrics. It is in the class kn
You are correct in that imaging a round earth on a flat screen must
involve projection. However, there is no one projection that is fit for
all purposes so it is pretty normal to store data sets in GCS and
project on-the-fly into whatever projection is fit for purpose. To
complicate matters, de

What you see on the screen, is in fact projected, but with a simple one
degree = one unit on the screen projection. The extent of that map is
still +/- 180°/90°
This projection is the same as "Plate carrée" (EPSG:32663), except that
the units are deg
