Description
**Describe the bug**
IoT Explorer doesn't show IoT Plug and Play components associated with the _device identity_ of an IoT Edge device.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. I've registered both an IoT and IoT Edge device with my IoT Hub
2. I programmatically set the same model ID for both on their respective device twins
3. I open IoT Explorer and click on the IoT device. It shows the _IoT Plug and Play components_ menu item in the left nav as shown below

4. When I do the same for the IoT Edge device the _IoT Plug and Play components_ option is missing.
**Expected behavior**
Whether it's an IoT Edge device or not, IoT Explorer should behave the same when the model ID is given in the device twin.
**Desktop (please complete the following information):**
- OS: Windows
- OS Version: 20H2 (OS Build 19042.1237)
- App version: 0.14.5.0
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the behavior with matching model IDs on an IoT device and an IoT Edge device in IoT Explorer. Trace the device left-navigation handling for IoT Plug and Play components, then verify that the components menu appears for the Edge device and remains available for the regular device.
