Inodes are a specific term that does not apply to all cases where ENOSPC
is used. What happens if ENOSPC starts to be returned when an A/V
filesystem runs out of "media blocks", should we then change it to "No
space, inodes or media blocks left on device"? Not likely. ENOSPC is not
specific to filesystems either.
At most, this is a FAQ.
