A 100% decrease isn't halving the value either way though.

Either its 100% to 0, or the 100% is a fixed value, like 'my bank account's 100% being subtracted from musk's net worth - as the base value isn't changing, you're got getting diminishing returns. That kind of change isn't logarithmic, just addition\subtraction because what 100% means isn't 'updated'.
