I was wondering that too, that this might be a better visualisation of certain geological features. But I don't have much experience, so can't say for sure.
I'm not that familiar with high-pass filters. But yes it's the way it exposes local changes in elevation that is unique. Indeed the heatmap is generated dynamically for every change to the zoom and viewport.

It's a sort of high-pass filter I guess? Using the curvature of the earth to highlight local changes in elevation.
