I understand that; I just question why. What's the barometer used for in the context of health and fitness? Blood pressure?
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.
