It doesn't matter if its a simple rectangle. The option is always grayed out. Yet another very frustrating UX issue.

Is the perspective grid visible? If not, go to View > Perspective Grid > Show Grid (or click on the grid tool).

I guess what I was looking for is the 'Perspective Transform / Distord'. So this menu was a wrong assumption of me. It is where it is in Photoshop, but I guess we can't expect any kind of consistency anymore at Adobe.

I also tried the perspective tool, but the scaling doesnt make much sense to me. Why is the bottom right of this object not exactly aligned with the perspective lines?

Also when I drag the group with the perspective selection, it starts losing random objects inside the group. I sometimes really wonder how anyone can get any work done with AI.

I don't know what steps you've taken exactly so it's hard to advise where you've gone wrong. I have no trouble moving a similar group onto the grid:

In your second image it looks like the corner flap isn't part of a group and isn't selected.
