What do you see as an issue?

Currently, the official Airflow Docker image explicitly sets the environment variable AIRFLOW__CORE__LOAD_EXAMPLES to false by default.

While the Configuration Reference mentions that the default value for load_examples is True, it doesn't mention that this is overridden in the official image. This can be confusing for users who expect example DAGs to be present when they first run the official image but find them missing.

Proposed Change
I suggest adding a note to the load_examples section in the documentation to inform users about this behavior in the official image.

Suggested addition to the docs:

Note: If you are using the Official Airflow Docker Image, this value is set to False by default via the environment variable AIRFLOW__CORE__LOAD_EXAMPLES. To enable example DAGs when using the official image, you must explicitly set AIRFLOW__CORE__LOAD_EXAMPLES=True in your environment.
