Why does device_tracker Mqtt show source_type: gps

Using a config like:

# https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/device_tracker.mqtt/
  - platform: mqtt
    devices:
      bose_quietcomfort_35_bt: ha_mqtt_hub/device_tracker/bose_quietcomfort_35/state

for several devices across instances (published on my Mqtt hub via mqtt state stream)

the device are tracked perfectly (if and when the legacy tracker

device_tracker:
  - platform: bluetooth_tracker

finds them.
However, this is in the states:

showing attribute source_type: gps which of course it isnt. It’s either MQTT, or preferably even bluetooth…

is this an implementation issue of the mqtt device_tracker, or a user error.

thanks for having a look
