In my in-expert opinion it all boils down to the fact that digital (CD) is either on or off whilst analouge (vinyl) has grey areas... The tip of the diamond vibrates while jumping between the bumps in the groove whereas the laser beam hits either an on or off...
That is oversimplifying the process. What actually happens is that the analoguge signal is sampled at twice the maximum audio frequency and the signal in that instance in time is given a digital value of up to 16 bits (dependent on the system) which represents the analog signal at that time.
