winget pin list does not recognize package ID parameter

[otto-liljalaakso-nt]

Brief description of your issue

I am used to use package ID as the sole positional parameter for winget subcommands to specify the package I want to act on. For example, winget install Discord.Discord installs the package with that ID, winget uninstall Discord.Discord uninstalls it and winget list Discord.Discord lists the packages with that ID I have installed.

winget pin list is an outlier here, it does not seem to use the package ID parameter for anything.

Steps to reproduce

Precondition: Have some packages pinned. In my case have these:

> winget pin list
Name                            Id                                       Version     Source Pin type
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visual Studio Professional 2019 Microsoft.VisualStudio.2019.Professional 16.11.17    winget Gating
PowerShell 7-x64                Microsoft.PowerShell                     7.2.1.0     winget Gating
CMake                           Kitware.CMake                            3.22.2      winget Gating
VMware Workstation              VMware.WorkstationPro                    16.2.5      winget Blocking
Teams Machine-Wide Installer    Microsoft.Teams                          1.4.0.22472 winget Pinning
Discord                         Discord.Discord                          1.0.9025    winget Pinning

1. Try to check pin status of Discord with winget pin list Discord.Discord

Expected behavior

See only pins for packages with ID Discord.Discord.

Actual behavior

I see all pinned packages:

> winget pin list Discord.Discord
Name                            Id                                       Version     Source Pin type

Hi bot! As far as I can see, none of these are duplicates:

• winget pin add can't find packages found by winget list if ID is an UUID #3991 is about Ids in UUID format, and explicitly says string IDs are not in scope. This one happens for string IDs.
• Pin By ID misbehaves #2965 is about selecting one of two package with the same ID. I only have one package here.
• Pinning/Unpinning should work for non-installed applications without --id flag #4163 is about pinning uninstalled packages. This one is about pinning an installed package.
