That is because they are different.

\begin{centering} ... \end{centering}

is equivalent to {\centering ... } but doesnt centre the `...' as no
\par is in the scope of the declaration.

the center environment would centre the ..  as it is a list
environment (with one item) and so adds an implicit \par at the end.
