Description
Get-MgDevice -DeviceId is quite confusing. As parameter accept Object Id instead of Device Id. When I query a device, Object Id output is Id.
I feel this is a design related issue. Accepted parameter requires a change. Command should be like Get-MgDevice -Id

Research direction
Start by locating the Get-MgDevice command and the definition of its accepted -DeviceId parameter. Check how the command exposes the device object's Id, then verify the requested parameter naming can be applied consistently; done means the command uses -Id instead of -DeviceId and the resulting help or behavior matches the request.
