They go to the same place, but are considered different things. This isn't like CFV where being put to drop from a circle is considered being retired. When a card is destroyed, it is put to drop zone, and therefore effects that activate when a card is put to drop zone activate. When a card is put to drop zone, it is not cosidered to be destroyed, and therefore effects that activate when a card is destroyed DON'T activate. That's why some cards have different wordings, for example Mini Geargod Rainbow's effect activates when a Mini Geargod is put to drop, not destroyed. Also cards can be destroyed yet not be put to drop zone, for example by stuff like Soulguard. That's the key difference, and why effects like Penetrate works on cards with soulguard.
