Well cannabis developed flowering in the wild in late summer/fall.  That time of year there is a higher red spectrum.  So it comes down to an evolution standpoint.  They evolved to flower under a spectrum higher in the red/orange. 

I don't the technical aspects of it, but this is obviously why they prefer it. 

I have tried to use both MH and HPS during flowering, and HPS def. outperforms.  Now when I am running 5+ lights, I throw in MH every 4th light or so, it helps to increase the varied spectrum, while still leaning hard to the red spectrum.

We'll here's the spectrum of 2 different MH light.  Obviously it's not JUST blue spectrum.  I don't really know enough about the biology to answer your question in all honesty.  I think it's evolution though.  Now what exactly is happening on a biochemical level is beyond my education at this point.
