## Title

    [azure-cli] Could not associate Load Balancer in VMSS when using az cli 2.87.0+ versions

## Body

    ## Observed symptom
    Could not associate Load Balancer in VMSS when using az cli 2.87.0+ versions
    
    We are observing an issue after upgrading Azure CLI from 2.75.0 to 2.87.0 and higher versions.
    
    Our Azure DevOps BlueGreen deployment pipeline performs traffic cutover between VM Scale Sets by updating Azure Load Balancer backend pool associations. The deployment works successfully when using Azure CLI 2.75.0, but consistently fails when using Azure CLI 2.87.0+.
    
    ## Literal error text
    ```
    ERROR: Couldn't find 'loadBalancerBackendAddressPools' in
    ```
    
    ## Environment
    GitHub Azure/azure-cli #34133
    
    ## Trigger / context
