why does this work?

But this doesn't

$ find /path -name bla | vim

Because standard input is not the same as command line arguments.

From 'man vim':

       vim [options] [file ..]

and:

       -           The  file  to  edit  is read from stdin.  Commands are read
                   from stderr, which should be a tty.
