Driver's Small Compartment Wire Cable What is it for?

Super Duty has a driver's side small compartment. Behind it is a wiring cable. I saw this in a youtube video.

Does anyone know what this is for?

The wire is for a switch to turn off the passenger side airbag if it is a regular or super cab. Not needed in a crew cab.

It’s a special government microphone that they hide in every vehicle sold since Obama came into office. Think of it as the first Alexa-type of listening device. They record every single statement that is said inside your truck. They were storing all of those transcripted recordings on Hillary Clinton’s second email server (not the first server that received all the news coverage) but supposedly are now sending all of those files straight to Beto’s house in Texas.

I always thought that was for the pedal height adjustment option.
