No Reason to “Upgrade” Distribution Lists to Microsoft 365 Groups

No Reason to “Upgrade” Distribution Lists to Microsoft 365 Groups
The Exchange admin center feature to allow administrators to initiate an upgrade distribution list process to request group owners to migrate distribution groups to Microsoft 365 groups is terrible. In my experience, the request goes into a black hole and never emerges, or the process fails immediately. But you shouldn’t be upgrading distribution lists to Microsoft 365 groups anyway because groups are often overkill when all that's needed is a way to distribute email to multiple recipients.
