Why does LiDAR have the ability to see depth through mirrors?

Hi all.

Recently got a new phone, and it has a LiDAR camera on it. I've noticed, however, that when looking at the pure depth information from it, it has the ability to see the depth of objects beyond mirrors (almost as if you flipped the room using the mirror's plane as the axis of symmetry). Why is this? I thought mirrors reflect light, not depth...? Or is it simply the mirror just reflecting the LiDAR rays?

I've taken a picture of my bathroom mirror to highlight what I'm referring to.

Left image is normal, right is with the LiDAR camera
