I remember this happening to my kid last year too. Just like @Gumbymom said the rigor will be noted. And like @RichInPitt noted it’s the denominator of the calculation that increases. The same can happen with high school GPAs. My kid took a second semester B period music class for a couple of years at her school and it was pretty obvious that it dropped her GPA when the grade was added each second semester (all other classes were the same and the grades were the same). Lots of kids that were GPA master managers wouldn’t take the class because of that but my kid really enjoyed it. Don’t worry about all these GPA details. It sounds like your kid has done well in high school. Good luck with his applications.
