Create a Planner Task from Outlook Email

Question

How is it not possible to make Planner task from an email in Outlook in 2024? We've been asking for this functionality for years and years and years and years. How is it that Microsoft speaks to Trello better than Microsoft speaks to Microsoft?

When will we get this functionality!?
