As a business owner that has used several different POS systems, I can tell you that they are choosing to have you see the tip prompt. I have never seen a system that didn't have tipping as an option that can be turned on or off. However, it is usually set to on as default.

Had a friend in high school. His parents were very well known surgeons and doctors. We lived in one state, but he went to high school in a different state at a private school focused on the arts and creative career development. His dad had his pilots license, not sure if he had his own plane or just rented, and he would fly his son to school for the year and back during holidays, breaks, or just when he wanted to come home for a weekend. Well he was back in town for the Christmas break, and had brought his girlfriend and his dorm roommate with him. He realized that he had left some stuff back at his dorm, so his dad was gonna fly him back to pick it up and then come home. (I think the flight there was only a couple hours). Anyway, they attempted to land but it was too windy, so they circled and came back once the wind died down. Unfortunately, as they were coming in for the landing, at only a few dozen feet in the air, a massive gust came in and flipped the plane over, crashing upside down in the airfield. My friend, his dad, and his roommate were all killed on impact. His girlfriend hadn't gone with them to go back, she had stayed at his house. Super sad and sudden. We had all had lunch together at a Chinese place in town just the day or two before.
... I'm so stupid. I've been a Reddit user for over 12 years, constantly use "site:reddit.com" in online searches, have been DMing a currently 2.5 year long 5e campaign, and never once thought to look for a subreddit dedicated to DnD DMs.... Welp, here's hoping someone creates a similar community here.
I don't know nearly enough about the infrastructure to have any educated input, but I'm curious if instances upgrading to new servers affects the reported numbers as well? I don't know how user data is being scraped from all instances, but I'd imagine that server changes could affect that. Again, speaking out the ass, but that's my 1 cent.
Sadly this is very true haha
