InReach Mini paired to Fenix 6, can it get GPS positions from the watch?

After using inReach Mini on a few trail running adventures I've noticed that it often struggles quite a bit to lock to GPS satellites, and that often delays or even skips sending trackpoints when tracking is on. But I wear my Fenix 6 at the same time and it has zero issues tracking the run.

Why can't inReach Mini simply take the current GPS position from the watch? I wonder if that has ever been considered by Garmin?
