In kitchen countertops, you put hot pans and food fresh out of the microwave. Granite has higher heat tolerance as it is a natural stone. Its formed over millions of years.
Natural granite is relatively non-porous therefore it does not easily abosorb liquid into it. (theres no space for liquid to get abosbed inside)
Granite is more resistant to scratches as well. You don't want your kitchen to start looking dirty because of being porous or having lots of scratches which can easily happen if not
