It does not, not on the versions that include prefix-only modules in builtinModules: https://nodejs.org/api/module.html#modulebuiltinmodules

Why are you saying the expected behavior would be 0? Could share your use-case and explain what you don't like about this change?

@huseeiin are you asking to have a way to list all builtin module that require node: prefix (with a js code)

[ljharb]

These were added intentionally in #56185.

That can be easily done via:

require('node:module').builtinModules.filter(m => m.startsWith('node:'))

right?
