Description
I am not sure if I should put this feature request should be here or in Plotly.py I put one in Plotly.py https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/issues/4189#issue-1696621984
Hi, I would like to see projection support in Mapbox map layers like, px.scatter_mapbox, such as 'globe' projection (which will make a tile-based 3d globe map). I noticed that Plotly is integrated with Mapbox-gl, and the Mapbox-GL support different projections, so it should be easy to have this option in Plotly. It looks like it's already supported in scatter_geo (see the doc)but not Mapbox layers.
See projections support in Mapbox-GL here. See what's looks like with projection here,

Research direction
Start with the map-layer entry points associated with Mapbox layers and compare their current projection behavior with the Plotly.py issue #4189 and the linked Mapbox GL projections guide. Determine the scope needed to expose projection options such as globe, then verify that the requested projections work for map layers.
