The fix is just a temporarily solution because

dotnetapp2.1 was end of support https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/net-core-2-1-will-reach-end-of-support-on-august-21-2021/
correspondingly PowerShell Core was end of support https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/powershell-support-lifecycle?view=powershell-7.2
Azure PowerShell announced the same in the last year. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/what-is-azure-powershell?view=azps-7.3.0#the-az-powershell-module

Please update script and PowerShell version as soon as possible.

Closed it as Az.Accounts 2.7.4 is published.
