Why is Spotify using the Linear Acceleration Sensor? (big battery issue)

Why is Spotify using the Linear Acceleration Sensor? (big battery issue)

Spotify is eating away at my Samsung S7's (Android 7.0) battery. I installed GSam and using ADB I can see that the app is using the linear acceleration sensor, even when I'm not using the app. What function does Spotify need the accelerometer for?

edit: before mentioning streaming because of the data usage, I've been using Spotify offline all day (the screenshot is from yesterday) and the issue persists

 

GSam battery
