The explanation "The maximum length is 20 characters." has been removed.

This explanation applies to user objects (New-Mailbox), and it is possible to set a SamAccountName longer than 20 characters for group objects. In fact, in Exchange Server 2016 and 2019, you can create groups with a SamAccountName longer than 20 characters using the New-DistributionGroup. (New-Mailbox will fail with an error.)
