ZSH Plugins are not working on Mac in iTerm2

So I have installed ZSH using:

brew install zsh

and then I have installed oh my zsh:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL )"

then I ran compaudit, so the plugins load properly:

compaudit | xargs chmod g-w

And then I have also installed powerlevel10k and went through it's setup:

---

Point is, this setup worked on a linux system (that I access using ssh as root user) but not on Mac M1, which I am using as normal priviliged user (which shouldn't be an issue).

I could pinpoint the issue that it is probably in ~/.zshrc.

If I add docker to the plugins in ~/.zshrc, like this:

...
plugins=(git docker)
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
...

Then docker autocomplete works. But just by starting the zsh shell, the docker plugin will not be loaded if docker is not added to this list, even though this is what the $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh is supposed to do, loading plugins it's built-in plugins automatically.

I can't understand why it's not working, I am not getting any errors, it just fails silently.

So no plugin is working (syntax highlight, autocomplete), unless I add it to the plugins.

Can anyone help me what I'm doing wrong?

Well, yeah, that's how it's supposed to work. OMZ only loads those plugins that you add to the $plugins array. The only things it loads without instruction are its libraries.
