Microsoft disabled the ability to create Microsoft accounts from a work e-mail address more than two years ago: https://mspoweruser.com/microsoft-finally-blocking-users-creating-microsoft-account-work-email-address/

Why would I have so many external users with work email addresses in my admin portal? They weren't all created more than 2 years ago. It's totally unsustainable to create external IDs for each external user. IT would be a huge bottleneck. Maybe it has been like this all along as I don't have another work address to test with. I typically send to some test gmail accounts I have. I just don't even know what the workflow would be to give an external user access to an Office 365 group now if they aren't on Office 365.
