When you apply a material to an object, a new instance of the material is created. When you apply a material to a group of objects, only one new material instance is created and shared across all objects in the group. You can change the material options for each material instance without affecting other instances.

Use the Sampler tool to reuse materials through a scene. First click with the Sampler tool to select a material from the viewport. Then, hold shift and click in the viewport to apply that material to new objects.

Use the Sampler tool to sample and reuse materials through a scene.

Editing materials used on multiple objects will affect all objects using that material. Use unlink material to disconnect a material from other objects

The same thing can happen with decal if you are duplicating object as instance.
