Most map providers have the access token as part of the url in a query parameter

Confirming that this is an actual regression. In an older version of kepler.gl there was an additional field to paste in a token. Note that in the screenshot there's also a skipped step 2 which reflects that something is missing:

1. Paste style url
3. Name your style

With a Mapbox the Style URL and Access token are two different strings.

@davidcalhoun Kepler.gl moved from proprietary mapbox to open source maplibre ecosystem per v3. Even though we technically could support mapbox styles, there is a legal issue because mapbox afaik only will allow usage of their services in combination with their renderer, effectively putting existing customers in situation of vendor lock-in. Examples of some more permissive style providers worth exploring are stadia maps, felt, carto, maptiler, protomaps or even self-hosting.
