What does AAD linking give me?

I've linked AAD (and the Azure subscription) to App Center, but I don't see what is making use of it. I still have to invite users by email address.

+1. Would like to get clarification on what this feature does. It seems like it's used as a mechanism to get subscriptions and associate to a subscription for billing (guess)? It does not have any effect on Users. In other words, adding people to the app does not search against the AAD directory of users or groups. Also, is there a way for AAD Enterprise Admins to prevent any AAD user from connecting their AppCenter Org to the AAD Tenant? The integration is different than Azure DevOps but not clear in the docs. Thank you!

We have the same question. Would be great if the docs could provide clarification here.
