I do not pronounce that part of a URL. Who still does that? Why would you need to do that?

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.

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.
