Contrast this with the inline_epp, which you can think of as a

Hmmm. The docs
The docs are wrong. I have filed a ticket.
The behavior is specified here
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet-specifications/blob/master/language/templates.md#visibility-of-scoped-variables
The implementation works as specified.

<https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_template_epp.html#special-scope-rule-for-inlineepp>
cast that behavior of inline_epp() as a special exception, and claim
it's applicable only when the template declares no parameters and you
don't pass any (and only with inline_epp()). Are the docs wrong? If
they are correct, then surely it is best to view that exception *as* an
exception, not as some sort of natural consequence of the scope in which
the template or the inline_epp() call appears.
In fact, inasmuch as the template might be presented in the form of a
variable defined in a different scope, drawing its actual value from
who-knows-where, I really think it's confusing to assert that such an
exception is a natural extension of Puppet's scoping rules. Call it
what it is: an ease-of-use aid applicable only to cases where the
stricter ordinary scoping rules of EPP templates are of little advantage.
