Why calling a user defined function need the owner name when calling a stored procedure doesn’t ?

I assume you mean the schema name? Owner is the user that created it.
It distinguishes the function from a built-in function. “System” stored procedures and functions live in the master database (so it can be searched), while built-in functions (things like
DATEADD) reside in the database engine themselves.I guess it’s more difficult when you specify
SELECT MyFunction()for the database engine to work out whether you mean a function that lives in a database, or a built-in function.
