When do you precede non-static GameObject methods and properties with gameObject in Unity?

For properties, layer needs gameObject to precede it but transform doesn't.

For methods, SetActive() needs gameObject to precede it but GetComponent<T>() doesn't.

Second question: is there a convention to use gameObject.[method/property name] at times instead of only writing [method/property name] (when appropriate)?

I, and people I've worked with, always do just to be as explicit as possible but I don't know what official convention is. I don't think it's mentioned in the unity style guide. – Rocketman Dan May 27 '20 at 20:41
