It's possible that could be destruction of evidence as well. Why should it matter whose meat sticks type in the decoy pin?

Because one is a clear intent to mislead while the other has plausible deniability. "It was there in case of robbery."
The prosecution would argue that you ought to have warned officers about the duress pin since this wasn't a robbery scenario.
It's harder for them to argue you were actively destroying evidence; you could say that you had written the wipe pin there for a legitimate use case like both your wallet and your phone get stolen
Makes sense, since you aren't using that pin every day and it would be easy to forget.
