Besides that I also have multiple (maybe all) photosets where the altitude is inverted, so photos high in the sky get a low altitude and photos low to the ground get a high altitude number. Maybe it is because the value is negative and the tagging process can't handle negative values.
After that many years of market domination, I would think they could handle a simple thing like this. Just give me relative altitude as altitude which is fine on all images I checked. Or use the f#cking gps doesn't matter if it is inaccurate because this is even worse. Also the app could just give a warning to wait a little longer before takeoff, if I want (more) accurate altitude data

The issue has nothing to do with inability to handle negative values.
And images shot close to the ground will always have a lower altitude in their metadata than images from greater heights.
There are two different heights in your image metadata.
You need to use the Relative Altitude, not the Absolute Altitude data.

The data you are having a problem with is not derived from GPS at all.
The Absolute Altitude shown in metadata from photos of the same subject, shot from the same spot, but a few weeks apart can show differences of 100 metres or more.
Your issue is that you are imagining that DJI's Absolute Altitude (sometimes labelled GPS Altitude), is an actual useful number.
It's not ... it's a garbage number that cannot be relied on for any purpose.
