That’s the main way it’s used, but there’s no limitation to use it in another way.
There are some styles suited for modern day maps. Or historical maps, such as the April issue of this annual:

And with Cosmographer and a few annual issues included, there’s plenty of SciFi styles to choose.
They have a YouTube channel where they stream a mapmaking session, you get to see quite a few styles:
I play a lot of sci fi themed sessions, would you still recommend for this use case?
I do use it myself for SciFi (mostly for Traveller) and I like it. Of course, the number of available styles is not as overwhelming as the ones available for fantasy, but there are some good options.
One thing worth noting: for Sci-Fi you definitely want the highest tier, which includes Cosmographer and all the annuals.
The page for Cosmographer shows a few styles: https://www.profantasy.com/...
And here's a few deckplan exampless on a classic Traveller style: https://www.profantasy.com/...
As for the annuals, there's this post on the forum with a small screenshot/thumbnail for each issue in most annuals: https://forum.profantasy.com/...
Finally, there's this Youtube Playlist with a few of the mapping sessions that focused on Sci-Fi styles: https://youtube.com/...
Thank you for taking the time to go in detail and provide resources! I'll probably get it based on your advice :)
Glad I could help.
One more thing: The official forum is a place full of very nice and helpful people.

This page showcases everything in the latest of the included annuals:
