If I know, but if I cannot overwrite with -Sdf, why I'm able to do it
with -Adf or -Udf?

As far as I know, pacman help pages show same messages:

pacman -hA

  -d, --nodeps         skip dependency checks
  -f, --force          force install, overwrite conflicting files

pacman -hU

  -d, --nodeps         skip dependency checks
  -f, --force          force install, overwrite conflicting files

pacman -hS

  -d, --nodeps         skip dependency checks
  -f, --force          force install, overwrite conflicting files
