Actually that's not a difference between operators and functions, but
a difference between operators or functions expecting a scalar value as
argument, such as the result of a single cell reference, and a cell or
range reference that results in a number sequence. To illustrate Excel
behavior:

A1: '-3
A2: 4

=ABS(A1)    => 3
=SUM(A1:A2) => 4
=SUM(A1,A2) => 4
=A1+A2      => 1
