Additional Info

We may use CSOM for this command passing the following

<Request AddExpandoFieldTypeSuffix="true" SchemaVersion="15.0.0.0" LibraryVersion="16.0.0.0" ApplicationName="SharePoint Online PowerShell (16.0.24322.0)"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/clientquery/2009">
    <Actions>
        <ObjectPath Id="49" ObjectPathId="48" />
        <Method Name="GetSPOContainerTypeById" Id="50" ObjectPathId="48">
            <Parameters>
                <Parameter Type="Guid">{4ec4aefd-4fa3-0e4a-20c3-6e68389e7138}</Parameter>
                <Parameter Type="Enum">1</Parameter>
            </Parameters>
        </Method>
    </Actions>
    <ObjectPaths>
        <Constructor Id="48" TypeId="{268004ae-ef6b-4e9b-8425-127220d84719}" />
    </ObjectPaths>
</Request>

⚠️ Tricky part

The CSOM call does not support filtering by name only by Guid so if we want to add handling also querying the Container Type by name what we will need to do under the hood is query all Container Types and filter them by name. Also if more than one Container Type will be found (as the name does not have to be unique) CLI (when interactive mode on) should prompt to pick the correct one based on id

Sorry, no insights to share on this one.

The only remark from my side is that get commands don't implement default properties.

Thanks for the comment. Removed. @pnp/cli-for-microsoft-365-maintainers any other comment before I open this up?

No comments. Good remark about getting containers by name. Let's do this.
