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?

Along with claustrophobia it also gives an added awareness for safety, say if a malicious person is tucked in the corner directly adjacent to the door, you’re blind until you enter the threshold and at that point you are in the attackers range, and they control access to the buttons limiting your options to escape. The mirrors improve visibility making the malicious person feel vulnerable, giving the potential victim a chance to recognize danger, and thus limit the likelihood of elevators being the place an attack occurs.
