Which of its up-to-32000 possible names would you prefer?  Consider,
e.g., vi, which is also known as edit, ex, e, and view.

There is never any guaranteed way to turn an inode into a single
pathname, because an inode may have anywhere from zero to (some large
number that varies with the implementation) names.
