Uhh quick limiting thing here (although I agree that the addition symbol is fine): the existence of a unifying math concept alone does not justify using the "+" symbol. By that argument, notating permutation conjugation with a "+" is fine, but that would be a notational sin as the "+" operator is reserved for commutative operations.
However, with that disclaimer, noting that both operations form monoids and both are commutative justifies the "+".
