a fair point, but aren't division and subtraction are non-communicative, hence both operands need to be evaluated first?

It’s commutative, not communicative, btw

1 - 3 + 1 is interpreted as (1 - 3) + 1 = -1

Yes, they're non commutative, and you need to evaluate anything in parens first, but that's basically a red herring here.
