In most states you cannot get state ID or DL until your EAD or GC is approved (whichever comes first) as you have no legal status until then.

I just looked up Michigan's policy and yes you are the same. You cannot get MI state ID until you are either a US resident (proven with the GC) or have legal presence (proven with the EAD as an approved EAD proves you are pending AOS). Receipts from your AOS application do not prove that.

The thinking in the US is this: illegal Immigrants are not allowed to drive or have US identification. Everyone is presumed illegal until proven otherwise. Your EAD card proves you have applied for AOS but your EAD does not make you a legal permanent resident. Therefore, to them you're still an illegal immigrant. And illegal immigrants aren't entitled to anything.
