The naming policy was working before without AAD Premium. But it had niggling problems and were not separated between DLs synced from on-premise AD and cloud-only groups. Why this requirement of AAD Premium now? Is there something special with O365 Groups that this warrants a premium subscription? Doesn't matter if it was announced in April. The logic still stands.

The reason why the naming policy was working before is that Groups used the Exchange Online distribution group naming policy, which is free.
