Because www.example.com and example.com, while the same website nearly all of the time, are technically different and could point to different places.

True. And there's also the websites that use "en." or some other language code, and "www." just leads to the language selection.

In the same way that English Wikipedia is https://en.wikipedia.org/ and Spanish is https://es.wikipedia.org/, there is nothing stopping any website from making www.blah.com point to something different than blah.com. It's just a convention.
