Comment:

 The functionality currently isn't designed to handle query arguments, it's
 intentionally to find a URI for a ''file''.

 I would say the expected use-case currently is something like this:
 {{{
 // preferably:
 $uri = add_query_arg( 'id', '41142aba6c0214da8ec1', get_theme_file_uri(
 'js/script.js' ) );

 // will probably work most of the time, unless a plugin has filtered the
 URI to include query args:
 $uri = get_theme_file_uri( 'js/script.js' ) . '?id=41142aba6c0214da8ec1';
 }}}

 Marking this as an enhancement instead as a result, the fact that this
 works for parent themes is kind of an unexpected side effect of simply not
 checking to see if the file exists (ie. `get_theme_file_url( '404.js' )`
 returns a URI even though the file doesn't exist).
