Computers like numbers. Paths are not numbers. Therefore computers do not like
them. I-node numbers exist for a good reason. Any path-based access control
mechanism will be computer unfriendly. In other words: It will be slow and
cost a lot of memory. Therefore people will hate it.
It would really be a nice idea if you could implement it efficiently.
