Nope. It does that because you told it to. You told find that you wanted
a -ls listing, and you also told it -print to just print the filename. If
you did the -ls without the unnecessary -print, you'd just get one line
per file.

That's the normal behavior of ls. I'm not sure offhand if there's a good
alternative.

If you only want one or the other, you can use -type:
find . -type f -ls f == files
find . -type d -ls d == directories
