Wouldn't you have the same problem with fd if you invoke it on unquoted globs? The problem is the semantics of the shell, not find.

Yes, but fd has implicit pattern matching without requiring the * character:

    Features:
        Convenient syntax: fd PATTERN instead of find -iname '*PATTERN*'

Seems a misfeature. Much of the time, I use find to look for files with a specific extension, which makes the trailing asterisk harmful.

    fd -e py

Also neatly bypasses the glob issue.
