ELI5: Why do burns take so much longer to heal than cuts?

Not a doctor, so maybe someone more qualified can chime in later.

When you get a cut, even if it's deep or long, you have nearby tissue that's relatively unharmed and capable of assisting in healing the wound.

Likewise, when you get a scrape, the dermis and subcutaneous tissue are largely still intact and can help repair the damage.

When you get a bad enough burn, such that the dermis and subcutaneous tissue is damaged, but body is forced to repair the wound from the outside in, rather from all over.
