With Save As, the original document is closed silently, unsaved. That silent action could lose minutes or hours of work on the original document.
Duplicate does show two windows, and you might well call that clutter. But I think Duplicate reduces confusion about which version is active. You can see both windows, and you can see which one you're working on. With Save As, the only indication you have is the document title, which could be only slightly different in the new version.
