Microsoft's crusade to move tenants from Email DLs to Office 365 Groups

I think the whole way the Microsoft crams new features (Groups, Clutter, Focussed Inbox, Teams, etc.) down our throats is really out of line for a service that we pay for. If they want to do that inhouse at Microsoft, more power to them, but in my tenant our IT group is in charge and determines what our users need for solving their business processes. Afterall we know our users, not Microsoft.

Microsoft should be more soft handed. They should say "here's this great feature, here's how to turn it on." The new feature should sell itself on it's own merrits, not by being forced upon the tenants.

Ultimately what ends up happening is I have to go around and find out how to turn off every new feature that is forced upon our tenant. Why should I have to waste my time doing that?
