I just checked for them again but didn’t see them. I’m at work right now and don’t have the time to do up the instructions but will come back to this later tonight.

Perhaps at least this could be improved.
Specifically, how would you suggest it be improved? To what?

Having the system remember where your dictionary is would be a good first step, not erasing changes you made to the dictionary set-up.
It’s not clear to me why Scrivener has the particular dictionary it has, given the large number of complaints about it, but anything that would make it easier to add a better one would be welcome.
Well, I’m no longer working in the beta. Once it is done - the replacement of the dictionary files - you should no longer need to do it unless you uninstall/reinstall Scrivener. I went for years with the “insane” version and never had to touch it until just recently. Normal folks just aren’t going to need to do it.
Having a baseline dictionary is the first step and is what you get when you do a fresh install of Scrivener. You get something that mostly works in the proper place to be able to make changes.
Windows Scrivener is clearly the best when it comes to the spelling dictionary. You can make changes easily enough without having to deal with the Mac OS that may or may not accept the changes, or worse, changes them again whenever the OS updates. What more are you looking for?
Question on an old topic.
Does the Mac version of Srivener use the Mac operating dictionary ?
I also believe this will get better when the “Apple Intelligent” (what a stupid title!) rolls out to other languages (besides US English)
Yes.
Maybe…Some day. That is not my answer for Apple. I don’t know. I only know what works for me on Windows.
