Rotate the 3d graph object instead of the camera

Is there any way to rotate the 3d surface graph object instead of the camera?
Right now it seems that only the latter is possible through the exposed options.

I toyed with a codepen that was posted in similar topics trying to rotate the graph around the X axis but as expected it’s just the camera that rotates not the graph object itself.
