Why do Mexicans pronounce v's as b's?
Both v and b are pronounced the same in Spanish, as a bilabial fricative. Neither one sounds exactly like an English b, which is a bilabial plosive, but the Spanish v sounds more like a b to English speakers than it sounds like a v. It also looks like a b when Spanish speakers pronounce a v or a b, because in a bilabial fricative the lips appear to touch, whereas the English v is a labio-dental fricative produced by placing the teeth on the lower lip.
Why do linguists use a phonetic alphabet as opposed to standard orthography?
Because standard orthography is arbitrary, using conflicting rules for the representation of sounds within a language. For example, in English there are only five letters representing vowels but there are over a dozen vowel phonemes. There are also sounds - like the voiced palato-alveolar fricative, or the voiced dental fricative - that exist as sounds in English but have no standard representation in the orthography. The International Phonetic Alphabet is also not language-specific, meaning it can be used to represent any language, and does not require the use of different writing systems.

This occurs in words like THem, THat, THe and the like.You can also find compound words where the T and H are pronounced separately such as poTHead and hoTHouse. Be careful with Indian names, though.

Phthisis, for example, is pronounced "tisis".

Why do Desis have difficulty pronouncing a 'v' or 'w'?
Standard Hindi and most other vernaculars do not differentiate between /v/ (voiced labiodental fricative) and /w/ (voiced labiovelar approximant). Instead, most Indians use a frictionless labio-dental approximant for words with either sound. So wine is pronounced like vine.
