I can't reproduce this.  Modifying the early-init.el file or executing
Emacs like this works fine for me:

emacs -Q --execute "(push '(fullscreen . fullboth) default-frame-alist)"

But my OS and Emacs configuration is different:
System Description:  macOS 11.2.3
Configured using: 'configure --with-ns --with-rsvg'

Illia, please check if this small fix will help:
