"Prerecorded" CDs are actually not "burned" by a laser (in the way that CD-Rs are) in the factory, but "stamped"/injection molded from a negative. It's a completely different process!
Since there is no photosensitive dye involved on the final prerecorded disc, this makes them orders of magnitude more durable. That dye is what breaks down over time on CD-Rs, making them unreadable.
