This is not a real issue but i think it should have been in 2022 ^^
This is just to document the discussions and implementation that refactored Node::nodeAggregateIdentifier to Node::nodeAggregateId
One point that stood out was that the rule to consistently use abbreviations originated from when there was not such good code autocompletion and linting in php. Modern day IDE's like phpstorm make it a breeze to work with either of them as you just check whats available. But this is not true for Fusion and EEL. Here time dials back and many user use the try and error approach. And here it is generally easier to work with if you have a few rules in your head which you know they apply like: No abbreviations.

Node::nodeAggregateIdentifiertoNode::nodeAggregateIdInitially the idea was first discussed in team meetings and later put on discuss: https://discuss.neos.io/t/rfc-use-id-instead-of-identifier-for-neos-9/6001 After general approval the change was committed https://github.com/neos/neos-development-collection/commit/5f80a56210ba903e484e79a99d82b457a226198f (directly on 9.0 as this was heavy under development with several changes daily to get a working version after the merge of the escr into Neos)
Later this change was discussed and criticised again in slack and a related pr:

We are currently conceptualising a translation layer in eel to restore the
node.identifiersyntax for ease of use: https://github.com/neos/neos-development-collection/issues/5022
