It did. Well, actually, at higher altitude clocks run faster than at low
altitude, when compared to surface clocks. And yes, speed also matters,
and it is speed relative to an inertial frame like the ECI (rather than
relative to rotating earth-surface coordinates).
The experimenters, Hafele and Keating, knew all this and accounted for
it in their analysis. You would know this if you had bothered to read
their paper.
