Allow modern team site creation without O365 groups
For a brief period we used to be able to create modern team sites not connected to an O365 group. It seems this functionality was taken away and now we are forced to create an O365 group with a new modern team site. There are many instances where an O365 group is not needed.

Here's how to get to them now, I added a new suggestion to put it on the main menu.

You can do this, but you need to go to the modern SP admin centre, click new site, then scroll down to other options. In there is a Team Site option - that one doesn't have the groups. We need this option moved to the main add new sites list from the SharePoint link on the front end.

I have many company functions and depts that don't need or want the GROUP social/chat, group email, conversation, Planner etc. aspect yet plan to use an SPO calendar and doc library.

I am wondering why this is not getting more traction? I have read more people asking for it in the Tech Community but no real buzz. My issue is two fold - a few of the app teams I have had the privledge of talking to are centering there model around Office 365 Groups created sites - if you are NOT using Office 365 Groups for various reasons - you get left out. Second, introducing people to the modern interface in SharePoint would be much easier if the sites themselves were true modern sites - without the overwhelming amount of other tools (Planner, Power BI Workspaces, conversations, etc...)
