See, that's what using BSD find will do: make me forget GNU defaults.
You're absolutely right. Linux systems invariably use GNU find, which
defaults to using the current directory if one isn't specified.
Here's the BSD output when a directory isn't specified:
[heinlein at springwater ~]$ find -type f
find: illegal option -- t
find: illegal option -- y
find: illegal option -- p
find: illegal option -- e
find: f: No such file or directory
