It doesn't do it only for projectiles, it does for any damage blocked.
You'r right it's for all damage types, but quote from the wiki ...blockable attacks coming from in front of the player will deal 33% damage for melee attacks and no damage for projectiles.
Since melee attack actually damage the player the armor should lose durablility in this case.
Projectiles on the other hand get blocked completely so the armor should not lose durablility.
Don't throw a large amount of eggs with the shield in your offhand. It "blocks" them all and you take damage. Just lost a full set of diamond chicken bombing someones house lol. I guess i deserve it, but either way, having a shield in your hand and throwing an egg causes durability loss to your equipment.
Glitch still exists in minecraft 1.10.
Is this still an issue in the latest snapshot 16w44a? If so please update the affected versions.
This is an automated comment on any open or reopened issue with out-of-date affected versions.
This bug still exists. In 1.10 and 1.11, shields block all damage to you from both melee and ranged attacks, but still don't block any damage to your armor.
Confirmed in 1.11.2
Still in 1.12.2
