Thanks for posting this. I don't like the default semantic model either. We never use it. We create a new one every time from the lakehouse. I wish they would remove the L shape grouping with the default semantic model and SQL Analytics endpoint as well. It takes up too much real-estate and dirties up an otherwise beautiful organization of items. There are other ways to get to the SQL analytics endpoint. I say get rid of the L shape grouping and access the SQL analytics endpoint through the ... "more options". Or it isn't unreasonable to just access the SQL analytics endpoint using the toggle dropdown in the upper right corner of the lakehouse. Many of us are using SSMS anyway.
Or allow users to configure the L grouping option on or off. To us it is very annoying to have many lakehouses in a workspace and it take up this much space.
