Are you talking about Kitchen grade Pyrex (Tempered Soda Lime Glass) or Lab grade Pyrex (borosilicate glass)?
Lab grade contains more metals such as boron, sodium, and aluminum making lab grade glassware better conductors of heat.
Kitchen glassware do not conduct heat as well which prevents burning the bottom of whatever your baking.
Both are less likely to break than other glass types.
