Problem

Is it simply because going from filenames to inode numbers is difficult in userspace, and you can't read inodes from there?

Fix for: why doesn't unix's du(1) command support -i for inode measurement?

Low Risk

GNU coreutils' implementation of du(1) will support the --inodes option with the next release (>8.21) ... I've just pushed the patch to upstream Git (http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=333dc83d). See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/htm…
