Why We shouldn't use `pub` command directly?

Dart documentation says as below.

Flutter note: If you’re using the Flutter SDK, don’t use the pub command directly. Instead use the flutter pub command

Why? Is it because the version could be different?

Because flutter pub does more than just pub. You can find the source code for the command here in Flutter: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/dart/pub.dart

An example of the difference would be the following comment:

/// Represents Flutter-specific data that is added to the `PUB_ENVIRONMENT`
/// environment variable and allows understanding the type of requests made to
/// the package site on Flutter's behalf.
