Because specialized solution can make intends, colorize your source 
code, number lines, highlight some special lines that you want to 
describe, make downloadable version etc.
<pre> can not do that all - you can only make line numbers in pre using 
special background.

Explanations can be made as comments in the code (// #). Or you can just 
split the code into smaller chunks. Or you can just make explanation to 
line numbers or highlighted lines. Of course this is matter of taste 
what solution one prefer.

If you need to make explanation for a lot of really very short code 
examples then indeed - maybe its better to use <pre>.
