Thank you for this! It works fine on an attached HDD, but with my
built-in
NVMe, I get this, in response to /usr/sbin/smartctl -r ioctl,2 -i
/dev/sda

Which NVMe driver is used according to devmgmt.msc?
The above output suggests that the driver does not support the NVMe
extensions of IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY[1]. This is typical for
drivers which also support RAID.
For example Intel RST drivers provide vendor independent pass-through
functionality for non-RAID SATA drives (IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH), but not
for NVMe. There is a vendor specific NVMe pass-through ioctl available,
but this is not yet implemented in smartctl.
