      It uses the barometer to detect elevation changes. Like walking up stairs indoors without GPS signal.

      It isn’t related. The manufacturer of the sensor package realized they could put a barometer in the package at a smaller cost than what they could charge for having added it, so they did. There’s no conspiracy except for the usual profit hunting.
