Bug
The Network Analyst extension uses a geodesic distance instead of a planar distance if the coordinate system is a Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere and there is only one cost attribute which uses the Shape field.

Additional Information
It is by design that we use geodesic distance instead of the planar distance when computing the distance based on the shape field. You can compute an additional field (e.g., Meters) to hold a different cost value if you want the distance based on a different formula.Workaround
Add another cost attribute based on a different field (does not need to be used for the analysis, just have to be there).OrProject the data into a different coordinate system.Or Use ArcGIS Pro.Steps to Reproduce
