    Alright, I think I have this figured out to make the Resource Explorer mostly usable.  My org did not really apply property sources or the ones they did apply were not updated. From what I can tell in my sandbox once the property sources are updated and applied to the resources, that seems to allow for logical groups inside of resource explorer.

Just to put a little clarity on this topic, in the example I am going use two of my domain controllers.  One is listed as a PhysicalServer with the categories of dfs,snmp the other one is in No Resource Type with the categories of dfs,MicrosoftDomainController,TopoSwitch,WinDHCP,Windows_DNS,Windows,snmp,Windows_DHCP

is this really that messed up?

If you find that you are missing categories, that is usually (but not always) a case where detection is not working correctly. Usually it's an access or configuration issue. In this case, I suspect that WMI to that first DC is not working. For a Windows server, almost all the detection and checks require WMI.
