You're hitting the difference between a physical disk and a volume. Physical
disks don't have UUIDs, volumes do. /dev is a physical disk driver location,
/Volumes or / is where volumes are mounted.

What you need is the volume mount, which in that terminology would be
something like disk0s3 or disk 0, slice/volume 3

I beg to differ.

no matter what I enter:
diskutil info '/Volumes/Macintosh HD'
diskutil info /
diskutil info /dev/disk0s3

I always get the UUID

But if I use '/Volumes/NO NAME' or /dev/disk3s5 (my FAT32 drive) I get no UUID
