Why focus on filters instead of dynamic groups? Wouldn't this lead to the need to create multiple duplicate groups given that there is a limit of 200 filters and you can only use one filter per group, like if I set a group with a filter for OS then I can't assign it again with a filter for model, so either the filter needs to be more specific, which might be an issue given the limit, or make a copy of the group and use a different filter. Or will the way filters work be changed, or the 200 filter limit be removed?

Peter answered this live, but just to answer it here, the main reason is because Entra has no path to accessing data in Intune. Additionally, there are built-in and by-design limitations in dynamic groups that make them less than optimal to use for targeting in many scenarios. Filters "side-step" these limitations and are far more flexible. We do have some improvements to make in the filter ecosystem for sure to be able to fully realize this.
