in The Twelve Days of Blog-mas: No.4 - Sync Cloud Groups from AAD/Entra ID back to Active Directory on Dec 03 2023 03:29 PM
I just tested and I see what you're referring to ... there is an option in the M365 Admin Center to create a "Distribution List" - and it appears that these 'groups' are NOT in scope for group writeback to AD. I'll see if I can find out if that's planned or not.
