It’s because of weight, an intrinsic and inexorable property of all matter!
Pressure is derived (almost entirely) from the column of weight above it. When there is less matter in the column, the pressure is lesser (pascals law).
The pressure/density gradient exists in all matter in the vertical axis for this reason.
