-Sin duda que por alguna afinidad, como la de relacionar a Jesús con el arcángel Miguel.
Creo que lo tuyo es prejuicio. Los testigos de Jehová y los adventistas no son los únicos ni fueron los primeros en creer que Jesucristo en el cielo es el arcángel.
Una información que tengo en inglés que puede ayudarte a desprejuiciarte.
1) Ernst Wilhelm Hengstenberg, neo-Lutheran, said in his Commentary to Revelation 12 (vv. 7-9) :
“Michael is no one but Christ.”

2) Johann Peter Lange, Calvinist, in his Commentary on Revelation 12:7 wrote:
“We take it that Michael . . . is, from the outset, Christ in warlike array against Satan.”
Revelation 12, Johann Peter Lange's Commentary enriches Christian understanding with profound insights from detailed text analysis and historical context.

3) Joseph Benson, a Methodist, back in the early 1800’s in his Commentary to Dan. 10:13,14 stated that:
"Others suppose the contest to be between a good and an evil angel, as in Zechariah 3:1, and Jude, Daniel 10:9, “which latter opinion,” says Wintle, “is perhaps the most just, as there should seem to be no dispute, or contest, between the ministering spirits of heaven, who are always obedient to the pleasure of their Lord. And when the Almighty sent a superior angel, Michael, whose name is sometimes given to Christ himself, Revelation 12:7, his office probably was to assist Gabriel in subduing the prince of the power of the air, the powers of this darksome world, or the spirits that rule over the children of disobedience, Ephesians 2:2."

... and on Dan. 12:1 states clearly that: “The word Michael signifies, Who is like God? which name, with the title here given him, The great prince which standeth for the children of thy people, manifestly points out the Messiah”
Daniel 12, Benson's Commentary enriches Christian understanding through meticulous historical analysis, providing profound insights into Scripture.

4) Martin Luther says in his commentary on the book of Daniel (in German) (WABL 11:2:108) that:
"Even if Michel has a name of an angel, we however, still understand him to be Christ himself, just like in Revelations 12; Christ, who came down to earth to us with his angels, who are the preachers (of the Gospel) to fight against the devil through the Gospel, for he calls him a great prince."

5) John Calvin, in his personal collaboration to an edition of the famous Geneva Bible, includes a note on Dan. 10:13 which says:
"Even though God could by one angel destroy all the world, yet to assure his children of his love he sends forth double power, even Michael, that is, Christ Jesus the head of angels."
https://www.reformedreader.org/gbn/gbndaniel.htm
And separately, in his Bible Commentary, he says in Dan. 10:13 that:
"Some think the word Michael represents Christ, and I do not object to this opinion. Clearly enough, if all angels keep watch over the faithful and elect, still Christ holds the first rank among them, because he is their head , and uses their ministry and assistance to defend all his people. But as this is not generally admitted, I leave it in doubt for the present, and shall say more on the subject in the twelfth chapter ".
Then when commenting Dan. 12:1 he says:
"By Michael many agree in understanding Christ as the head of the Church. But if it seems better to understand Michael as the archangel, this sense will prove suitable, for under Christ as the head, angels are the guardians of the Church. Whatever be the true meaning, God was the preserver of his Church by the hand of his only-begotten Son, and because the angels are under the government of Christ, he might entrust this duty to Michael."

6) The scientist Isaac Newton, well known for his physical laws, some important astronomical and mathematical notes, etc. Many do not know that Newton was an avid student of the Bible and that although he did not usually publish much of the things he discovered, due to the time in which he lived, many of the papers he wrote are preserved today, including those related to his biblical studies. Note these records from Newton about Archangel Michael:
Folio <32>
(...)
If you would therefore know why Iesus is called the Christ, the son of God, the son of man, the Lamb of God, the Word of God, &c you must have recourse to the old Testament, & there you will find that he is called the Christ or Messiah to signify that he is the Messiah who was spoken of in Daniels Prophesy of the 70 weeks. The son of man to signify that he is the person of whom Daniel writes in saying, Behold one like the son of man came with the clouds of heaven: & there was given him dominion & glory & a kingdom that all people nations & languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion. The son of God to signify that he is the person spoken of in the second Psalm in these words: The Lord hath said unto me Thou art my son this day have I begotten thee Ask of me & I will give the heathen for thine inheritance & the ends of the earth for thy possession: thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, & thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potters vessel. The Lamb of God to signify that he was prefigured in the Paschal Lamb ordeined by Moses The Word of God.
<33>
He is also called Michael in Apoc 12, & this with reference to the same name in Daniel chap 10 & 12, to signify that he is that Michael the great Prince who in the end of the world shall stand up for the children of Daniels people & who in the days of Daniel helped the Angel Gabriel against the Prince of the kingdom of Persia & who alone held with & assisted the Angel Gabriel in matters of prophesy & is there called the Prince of Daniels people, (...)

7) Adam Clarke (Irish Methodist theologian), in his biblical Commentary on Dan. 10:13 says:
"Michael, he who is like God, sometimes appears to signify the Messiah, at other times the highest or chief archangel. Indeed there is no archangel mentioned in the whole Scripture but this one."
https://godrules.net/library/clarke/clarkedan10.htm
8) Albert Barnes (Reformed Presbyterian theologian), doesn't say directly that the Archangel is Jesus, but in his biblical Notes, on Dan. 10:13 he says that:
"Michael, one of the chief princes - Margin, "the first." That is, the first in rank of the "princes," or the angels. In other words, Michael, the archangel." The proper meaning of this name (מיכאל mı̂ykâ'êl) is, "Who as God," and is a name given, undoubtedly, from some resemblance to God. The exact reason why it is given is not anywhere stated; but may it not be this - that one looking on the majesty and glory of the chief of the angels would instinctively ask, "Who, after all, is like God? Even this lofty angel, with all his glory, cannot be compared to the high and lofty One." Whatever may have been the reason of the appellation, however, the name in the Scriptures has a definite application, and is given to the chief one of the angels."

9) Matthew Henry (Reformed Presbyterian), on his Concise Commentary of the Bible, on Dan. 12:1-4 says:
“Michael signifies, "Who is like God," and his name, with the title of "the great Prince," points out the Divine Saviour. Christ stood for the children of our people in their stead as a sacrifice, bore the curse for them, to bear it from them. He stands for them in pleading for them at the throne of grace. And after the destruction of antichrist, the Lord Jesus shall stand at the latter day upon the earth; and He shall appear for the complete redemption of all his people.”

10) John Wesley (British theologian, founder of the Methodist church), on his Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, on Dan. 10:13 says:
"Michael here is commonly supposed to mean Christ."
... and in Dan. 12:1 about the expression "For the children" says:
"The meaning seems to be, as after the death of Antiochus the Jews had some deliverance, so there will be yet a greater deliverance to the people of God, when Michael your prince, the Messiah shall appear for your salvation. (...)"

11) John Gill (British Reformed Baptist theologian) on his Expositions, says on Dan. 10:13:
" (...) called in the New Testament an Archangel, the Prince of angels, the Head of all principality and power; and is no other than Christ the Son of God, an uncreated Angel; who is "one", or "the first of the chief Princes" x, superior to angels, in nature, name, and office; he came to "help" Gabriel, not as a fellow creature, but as the Lord of hosts; not as a fellow soldier, but as General of the armies in heaven and earth, as superior to him in wisdom and strength; and he helped him by giving him fresh counsels, orders, and instructions, which he following succeeded."

12) Charles Spurgeon (Reformed Baptist)
From “The Blood of the Lamb, The Conquering Weapon” (Sept. 9, 1888):
“By faith we rise into the conquering place this day. In the heavenlies we triumph, as also in every place. We rejoice in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Michael of the angels, the Redeemer of men. For by Him we see Satan cast out and all the powers of evil hurled from their places of power and eminence.”
From “Our Lord’s Transcendent Greatness” (Dec. 2, 1866):
You remember how our Lord, who is the true Michael, the only great Archangel, said at the beginning of the preaching of the Gospel, “I beheld Satan as lightning falling from Heaven.”
From “The Angelic Life” (Nov. 22, 1868):
“We read that Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels, and the dragon was cast down. The fight is going on every day. Michael is the Lord Jesus, the only Archangel.”
