find / -perm -003

....finds very few files on my system, but quite a lot of /usr/local is

But they are all symbolic links to files / directories of chmod 0644 or
0755 respectively. When I run:

find / -type f -perm -003
or 
find / -type d -perm -003
I get no matches.

If the symbolic link is 0777 but the target of the link is 0600, the
link still cannot be executed / edited - I get permission denied.

What am I missing?
