"The differences are that the locate information might be out of date, and
that locate handles wildcards in the pattern slightly differently than find
(see Shell Pattern Matching)."

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/tree/doc/find.texi#n651

I checked the section Shell Pattern Matching and I absolutely see no
difference among locate and find.

Maybe the writer thinks to 

locate pattern

where pattern does not contain wildcards, but this has already been explained
just above line 651.
