"okay, then why not just set the currently available single duress pin to something like 1234? "
I already answered this - To increase the probability.
"Apart from that, I don't think there's much incentive to delete the data on the device"
The incentive is obvious - Its better to increase the probability your stolen data is wiped, than at risk for any future attack vector.
" The hypothetical criminal you're describing must be incredibly rare"
Not rare at all, Plenty of people use their phones for crypto, banking, OTP, etc
" The point of the duress pin is also in its name "duress", when somebody forces you (maybe physically) to unlock a device or enter a password to gain access to data, not as a anti-theft factory reset tool. "
The point of the mobile phone was to make phone calls... its now also a camera, satnav, banking, crypto wallet... etc...
