Be careful what you wonder; someone might oblige you with an answer...

Because they're not member functions, they're free operator functions.  
Binary, associative operators (like ==, <, >, <=, >=, +, -) are usually 
defined as free functions to avoid problems/inefficiences related to 
implicit type conversion and argument ordering.  Conversely, 
non-associative binary operators (usually ones that modify the left 
operand, like += or -=) and unary operators (~, !, ++, --, etc) are 
usually defined as member functions, specifically to *avoid* implicit 
type conversion, as it would produce undesirable results in those 
situations.
