This is not really a problem, unless you’re trying to simulate some 3D space orbits, physics. The crossover from geo INFORMATION systems to geo simulation systems is a bit rough, but the projections and calculations on projected cartesian space are enough for many typical questions, like distance, area, routing. However, even topology support starts getting specialized, and the use cases are more niche. I think it’s asking a bit too much from a database/storage layer to do efficient calculations outside of those supported by GEOS. At this point, you might want to import the relevant data into higher level applications.
