Eh. Asia is only 3.1 times larger than Antarctica, both Europe and Oceania/Australia are even smaller and South America isn't that much larger. It's a different matter if we compare it to Eurasia and America (north+south), though.
( another is simply that you can give kids cardboard Dymaxion-map/globes for them to have, so they can study it for fun, whenever they want, & earn better understanding of the world they're born-into, without any "big tech" machiavellianism working through the plain tech.
Another is that you can do the landmasses OR the oceans on the thing, as its "center"!

This is a useful reference https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:World_map_true_proportioned_continents_approximation_with_comparison.jpg
https://thetruesize.com/ is also fun.
Just use the search to add Antarctica and another region (like say Australia, or North America), then drag them to the equator to compare their sizes.
To round out the list: Africa is about 2.1 times as big. Oh, and glorious Afro-Eurasia is 6 times as big, get fucked Antarctica
and THAT is 1 reason why the Dymaxion Map is THE Right Map:

Great projection, it makes a lot of sense!
Map projection based on an icosahedron globe is a new one.
