When we were first getting into inert we debated this specific topic for a long time. We came to the conclusion that it's better for inert to be consistent, otherwise you could never really trust it. For example, say you put inert on your <body> but elsewhere in the page you load an <iframe> for an ad and tucked in that ad is an inert=false. Developers don't often have fine grained control over the ads code that gets loaded into their site, so this scenario is very possible and would make inert kind of useless.
We proposed a separate primitive for the use case you're describing, tentatively called blockingElements. You can check out a polyfill here. Basically blockingElements lets you say "everyone except for me is inert", whereas inert lets you say "I am inert". Here's a write up I did to explain both in a bit more detail https://robdodson.me/building-better-accessibility-primitives/. Hope that helps!
