Not sure, probably due to the reforming of the eye-wall.

Does the slowing down of the storm mean that it could gain wind strength? Does all this really matter?

Yes, absolutely. I believe a faster more powerful storm would cause marginally less damage than a slower less powerful storm. Going from 14 mph down 10 mph means at least one more hour of heavy winds and rain and with the expanding area, the damage could be more widely felt.
