I suppose you mean GNU find.
-noleaf
Do not optimize by assuming that directories contain 2 fewer
subdirectories than their hard link count. This option is
needed when searching filesystems that do not follow the Unix
directory-link convention, such as CD-ROM or MS-DOS filesystems
or AFS volume mount points. (...)

I'd rather have the default the other way around or that find only
uses this speedup trick when it knows that it is safe to do so, but as
this behaviour is documented, I suppose the creators of GNU find have
decided "Unix convention or die".
