I'm guessing it's because they represent different objects - the "parent" object in AAD and the workload-specific representation in ExO.

The AAD one, via Get-AzureADMSGroup.

  thanks, so what is the difference between that one and Get-AzureADGroup?
  
  I found a note stating that "Going forward, all cmdlets that call Microsoft Graph will have “MS” in their cmdlet names, as in “Get-AzureADMSGroup”. The cmdlets that call Azure AD Graph will not change, so there is also a “Get-AzureADGroup” cmdlet."
  
  Unfortunately, the docs at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/azuread/Get-AzureADMSGroup?view=azureadps-2.0 don't make any mention of this. These modules and their associated documentation are still very confusing to me.
