Op’s ffs do not target FreeBSD and it l seems like referenced system is FreeBSD only. Claiming naming rights is a stretch here

That's ahistorical. FFS is the berkeley Fast File System, from BSD 4.2, in 1983.
FFS predates FreeBSD and is in some capacity supported by all 3 major BSDs. I'm fairly confident that Linux actually supports it through the ufs driver ( https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/fs/ufs ); whether the use of different names in different places makes it better or worse is an exercise for the reader.
