Looks like the site is demoing the altimeter reading changing as the setting is changed. Note the altitude is changing properly with respect to altimeter setting.

Correct! If you play with the source on codesandbox you can disable the demo mode and actually rotate the Kollsman window using the BARO button. The calculations for pressure and resulting altitude are from standard physics texts.
