SUMMARY Peek at Desktop and Show Desktop seem to do the same thing. One is bound to Meta+D and the other to Ctrl+F12. Peek at Desktop seems to be bound in here https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/blob/master/src/useractions.cpp?ref_type=heads#L981 Show Desktop seems to be bound in here https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/shell/shellcorona.cpp?ref_type=heads#L183 SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0 Qt Version: 6.11.0 Kernel Version: 6.18.6-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i7-7600U CPU @ 2.80GHz Memory: 24 GiB of RAM (23.2 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: Intel® HD Graphics 620 Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 20HG0003SG System Version: ThinkPad T470s
This behavior is the same in 6.5.5 and is intentional. "Peek at desktop" is a Plasma widget invokes the "Show desktop" functionality of Kwin. You can see the functionality for the widget here https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/blob/master/applets/showdesktop/PeekController.qml which invokes this for Show Desktop https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/blob/master/applets/showdesktop/showdesktop.cpp
If they are intentionally the same functionality, shouldn't they be the same entry in the shortcut KCM?

That is a suggestion that's worth considering. Please open a new feature request for it, and set it to "wishlist" so the maintainers can consider it.
