Sharepoint Guest Users
Something else that might help pinpoint where they come from, if you have access to security center, run an audit log and select "Created Sharing Invitation", this I think will show you the full sharing invites that would create guest user accounts. This might let you find some you have seen and maybe see who's doing it and for what resource?
Thanks for the info Christopher, it has been very helpful. Going through the logs now to see if I can find any anomalies.

- As I remember it, from default sharing in sharepoint if the guest address is an office 365 address it will be added to the azure ad as guest and they use their own account to login and other ones will get the code
Sorry to reopen this a month later, but am finding the same issue with random people we've shared with appearing on our user list as guests.
If I search the audit log for 'shared file, folder or site', then these users appear in the log. Under detail it specifies 'Shared with "Limited Access System Group" ("SharePointGroup")'
Two have shown up so far and were both part of a group who were granted access to a file through the share option in a user's OneDrive.
My best guess is that this is only happening for people that also have an Office 365 Account and so the system is adding them as guests on ours, but should it be happening at all if we've shared a solitary file?
Did you ever discover the cause of the issue on your end Trevor?
