Hmm, while this seems like a small improvement to the status quo.
I'd rather like to see a variant which shows less to the user
at first sight, to not overload them with to many choices.

Something with more levels or collapsible types could help here.

Dominik had an idea that we could try to use a ComboGrid here,
Grids have a grouping feature, you can see it in action for available
Node  Updates, there we group by "Vendor" (Proxmox or Debian).
You could try if that feature works in the ComboGrid use case too,
or if it's easy to make it work there, and see if that looks like a
good alternative - providing better UX.
