It is also of note SCOTUS in Burdick v US has held accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt in a similar way that accepting a plea is though you don't have to make an allocation. Their specific words were "an imputation of guilt, acceptance a confession of it".
Insightful observation. I would also wonder "for which crimes they would be accepting a pardon?" Presumably, a blanket pardon is meaningless. Incitement of a riot? Puh-lease. Deep state doesn't want the truth of that one getting out, namely that they knew of the planned teepee-ing of the Capital in advance and did nothing to warn the White House about it.
