There is no way to "explain the difference". They are simply different. PERIOD.
As you say the log of a product is the sum of the log of the factors
because when we multiply to numbers that are expressed as the product
of numbers written as powers of the same base, we add the exponents.
If we want to multiply these exponents (logarithms) we can. But these is
no DIFFERENCE that can be formulated.
