A pot is being heated more intensely. the chocolate doesn’t have time to melt because the little liquid content in it gets burned out. Where as in like a glass bowl in water or more recommended above steaming water the steam is released heat that’s not directly heating the chocolate, but gently heating the vessel if that makes sense.
