Currently spo term group add can only be run on the Global Termstore on tenant level.
This has the following consequence:
You need the SPO administrator role to run this command. You cannot add term groups as a taxonomy administrator without the SPO administrator role.
I propose fixing this.
Options

Description |
-u, --webUrl [webUrl] |
If specified, allows you to add a term group to the tenant term store as a term store administrator without the SharePoint administrator role. |
Remarks
To use this command without the --webUrl option you have to have permissions to access the tenant admin site.
When using the --webUrl option you can connect to the term store with limited permissions, and do not need the SharePoint Adminstrator role. It allows you to add a term group to the tenant term store if you are listed as a term store administrator.
This command does not create a sitecollection specific term store/group when using the --webUrl option.
Additional remarks
The webUrl option (if used) can be swapped in instead of the currently used spoAdminUrl to achieve the desired result.
Some research still needed to add a term group to the sitecollection specific term store.
