Why cant we use the include header function instead of get? What is the difference between the two?
<?php include(inc/header.php');?>

is a function specific to WordPress, whereas include
is a vanilla PHP statement - it's not that you can't use include
- it's just recommended to use the WordPress functions where applicable.
