Microsoft Planner should stop embarrassing me in front of my colleagues

Hi - I created a new project today, and Planner - without my input, notification, or acknowledgement - emailed EVERYONE I WORK WITH to let them know they had been added. This is one of the worst software design choices I have ever seen, and we're talking about Microsoft Office here. 

Then I learned that Planner has no way to import tasks from Excel or Asana or any other project management platform. So Planner, without warning or notification or approval, emailed EVERYONE I WORK WITH to show them an empty task list. 

How is it possible for this software to be this bad on the default setting? How do I get a trillion-dollar company to stop embarrassing me at work?
