Details:
On macOS, using built-in find:
$ umask
0022
$ touch file
$ chmod +w
$ find file -perm -+w
file
On Fedora, using GNU find:
$ umask
0002
$ touch file
$ chmod +w
$ find file -perm -+w
Per POSIX, find should find file because it satisfies +w given the current
umask. The umask should only be ignored if u/g/o are specified or if = is
used. This is the same behavior as chmod. GNU find seems to always ignore the
umask.
