Your fd command:
Why type=file and a size? What else has size in 500k range on a filesystem, except files?
=+500 isn’t how math works, that’s implying it could be -500 or using equals for an inequality because the commonly used greater than symbol is off limits, it’s a learned bodge.
500kwhats? Bits? Bytes? Base2? Base10? Can I put a suffix on, is it kB and kb case sensitive?
Why is your filename on the left of the folder you want to look in? That’s so backwards to the left to right order /folder/files are normally written.
Why do you have some arguments with double dash, some with single dash, some with no arg name at all, what’s the pattern for any of that?
What’s -x and why is it short for a word beginning with E?
Why is the find command executing anything at all?
It’s no more immediately sensible than find, it’s inconsistent scribble and workarounds you’ve learned instead of the same that you haven’t learned.

And can retain their size even if their inner files are deleted (until some cleanup style process is run). >It’s no more immediately sensible than find Oh yes, it is. The same nitpicking for find would take 10 days, and wont be as contrived...
