It can't be the terminal that decides what inhibits and what doesn't. It must be the user or programs themselves.
How would implementing it in the terminal rather than shell look like? As a user choice? I don't see how that's reasonably possible.
Reading the other comments it seems like there's already inhibit commands.
If the shell does not provide a command or alias, or they can't because the inhibit API is system dependent, it's on the user to define. The user could define a
fgalias or command, fg for foreground, which executes the command with inhibition.
