Hm, so am I to assume that it actually works for you? None of the Teams I toggled the flags for have disappeared from either Outlook and OWA. And while Outlook can be excused as I'm on the deferred channel, shouldn't OWA at least be aware of the flags? Sigh...

As I say in the piece, the change is rolling out... and while the change is effective in the back-end (i.e. you can set groups to be hidden from Exchange clients now), some client updates are also necessary. These will come in OWA and Outlook (to respect the flag) and Teams (to set the flag). Don't be so impatient.
As to ordered hash tables, I used these a lot to capture Office 365 data with PowerShell. Once in the hash table, you can do so much with data... as proven here.

Yep, working in both OWA, Outlook desktop, and Outlook for iOS (latest update). Groups disappear after a client refreshes, which in the case of Outlook desktop means the next time it runs Autodiscover (15 minutes). Outlook for iOS appears to refresh its folder list if you access it or the Groups section of the folder list. OWA refreshes itself periodically, or you can refresh the browser.
One of the side-effects (logical) is that if a group is hidden from Exchange clients, it disappears from Favorites. Just saying...
