Almost every elevator I’ve been in has a mirror inside. Exceptions are paternoster or technical elevators.
Does it reduce claustrophobia? Does it make the space look bigger? Does it entertain passengers?

Not sure which mirrors you mean. I know that the convex mirrors in the corners in apartment buildings are so you can see if there anybody hiding in the corner of the car waiting to jack you. Or so you can see the whole car behind you and you can see if someone is going to jack you. Elevator muggings used to be a popular thing back in the day. There are still a lot of places where residents will take the stairs so they don’t get trapped in the buildings elevator.
You can see the whole car without really having to look.
The whole mirrored wall? I can only assume that people saying it’s to stop vandalism are correct. Maybe for the same reasons I mentioned too, but it looks nicer? Full mirrors I’ve seen tend to be in nicer apartments or hotels. In the projects, they’d just be broken or stolen.
