Why is elevation an in-app purchass in OfflineMaps

Hello
This discussing is more about getting a better experience to OfflineMaps user than to save me some $.
I have AlpineQuest on my phone that I use on the field and use OfflineMaps on all my other devices to simply display the maps or even prepare my next hikes because the screen of my tablet is way bigger and comfortable.
The elevation is mandatory for planing a route in the mountains, this is probably why this purchase can generate some money!
From a commercial point of view, if an extra feature don't generate any money it is better to offer it for free and give you user a better experience.
Here are the questions:
An AlpineQuest license should allow the owner to run the software on multiple devices, 3 or 5.
The elevation should be in the core of OfflineMap
The elevation license for OfflineMaps should allow the owner to run the software on multiple devices, 3 or 5.
I don't need an answer as all of these are strategic, but I hope you would take the best decision for you, your user and your users.
Regards
