Every country and organisation is free to follow or ignore it. The representatives from Togo themselves have stated that Mercator projection has utility, just not in textbooks, Equal Earth is better in textbooks.
An app I use is internally considering due to this resolution whether it makes sense to abandon Mercator at planet scale renders and then switch to Mercator for local zooms (Mercator is terrible for size, but good for shape)
