cluster_absolute_unit.yaml doesnt run as advertised

Following the this documentation:
https://splunk.github.io/docker-splunk/advanced/DISTRIBUTED_TOPOLOGY.html

I wasnt able to start the cluster up.
Issues faced:

1. default.yml inside ./test_scenarios/defaults/ wasnt respected atleast not for the password (generated via docker run with "SPLUNK_PASSWORD" set
2. did not read the set env-var SPLUNK_PASSWORD when running compose up via make (also not when setting environment:
   - SPLUNK_PASSWORD (which is missing in this compose file)
3. Required adding - SPLUNK_GENERAL_TERMS=--accept-sgt-current-at-splunk-com otherwise I would get license not accepted error.

How i generated default.yml:
docker run -it -e SPLUNK_PASSWORD=savepassword splunk/splunk:latest create-defaults > test_scenarios/defaults/default.yml

How I started the containers:
SPLUNK_PASSWORD=savepassword ; SPLUNK_COMPOSE=cluster_absolute_unit.yaml make sample-compose-up

OS: MacOS ARM64 (latest)
Docker Desktop: Version 4.45.0

Start with the DISTRIBUTED_TOPOLOGY documentation and the cluster_absolute_unit.yaml scenario, then inspect test_scenarios/defaults/default.yml and the sample-compose-up Make target. Reproduce the commands and check how SPLUNK_PASSWORD and SPLUNK_GENERAL_TERMS are passed into Compose. Done means the documented startup works with the generated defaults and required environment values, including license acceptance.
