No real decrease
Different ways of measuring DNA similarity - different in what they count - give different results. Which should not be a big surprise.

Re: Human , Neandertal, and chimp dna
The 4% sounds right for the percentage of DNA that comes from our distant (human) ancestors interbreeding with Neanderthals. So it’s literally Neanderthal DNA.
