Setting axis properties in a Makie recipe

I’ve spent a lot of time figuring out how to set axis properties in a Makie recipe. I’m convinced this is not possible. Is this the case?

This is from 3 years ago:

it seems that the problem is not resolved, yet.

For now, it’s enough to pass in the axis style to the make plot recipe. But it would be helpful if the Makie recipe were to define its axes, which is impossible. What was the reasoning for disallowing this?
