The only technical reason is in defining a schema with no namespace. In 
that case, you must use a prefix for the XML Schema namespace so 
unprefixed references like type="MyType" don't resolve to the XML 
Schema namespace.

Since the explicit namespace prefix style covers 100% of the cases and 
the default namespace style covers *only* 99%, many prefer using the 
former style as a best practice.
