ESPhome entity naming not using friendly_name

[wangmaster]

The problem

From the documentation https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/esphome/

 Friendly naming

    Entity name is a combination of the friendly name and component name
    Entity ID is derived from the entity name with the device name prepended

However I have a ratgdo with the following

substitutions:
  name: ratgdov25i-<hash>
  #name: garage-door-opener
  friendly_name: Garage Door Opener
  #friendly_name: ratgdov2.5i <hash>
packages:
  ratgdo.esphome: github://ratgdo/esphome-ratgdo/v25iboard.yaml@main
esphome:
  name: ${name}
  name_add_mac_suffix: false
  friendly_name: ${friendly_name}

If I set friendly_name: Garage Door Opener the entity ID naming ends up being cover.ratgdov25i_<hash>_door

This doesn't match what the documentation says it's supposed to do with friendly_name unless I'm misreading the documentation? Is this correct?
