Interesting. Microsoft is using Google Groups for signup process.

Is there no Groups equivalent in MS ecosystem?

It's due to being in beta - the Google Group is how you whitelist specific individual's Google accounts to be able to get the beta app on their Android device. For people joining the iOS beta, they sign up via Testflight.

IIRC the play store requires this for beta signups.
