### Describe the bug
see title. When running `amplify env pull --envName `, the CLI will only pull the current environment. This command is recommended to users when they opt to NOT modify their project's backend on `amplify pull` as shown here https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-cli/issues/11066#issuecomment-1261047852
### Expected behavior

### Reproduction steps

2. `amplify env pull --envName doesnotexist`
3. observe CLI fetched current `dev` environment

Research direction
Start by tracing the Amplify CLI's `env pull` command and how it handles the `--envName` argument, then reproduce the behavior with a nonexistent or alternate environment as described. Done means the command targets the requested environment and does not silently pull the current one; add or update coverage for the argument handling if the existing command tests expose it.
