If there's something in the TOS, that's a completely different story, as I differentiated in my post you quoted. The problem is with the companies that have nothing.
Check out some of the suspension letters from some of the companies out there. People have posted them in various forums, including this one, in the past. People have literally been suspended on some of the big name hosts, for "excessive disk space usage" or "excessive bandwidth usage", basically word-for-word from their own suspension/termination emails. It's not for inode usage, CPU usage, etc. How can disk space or bandwidth usage be excessive on an "unlimited" plan? Hell if I know.
What's in the TOS is generally binding. In the example you list, clients are allowed to use 10GB of disk space, so long as XYZ is met...inodes, CPU, disk i/o, the AUP is followed, etc.
I have no problem with that.

OK, we view this in a similar light then. I agree with you.
In my experience, the "better" unlimited hosts these days (Hostgator, Site5, et al) all have fairly transparent TOS details about inode, CPU, I/O limits etc. and I almost always see account suspensions as being the result of violating those limits, not because of too much disk space or too much bandwidth used.
And personally I've transferred many terabytes of data on unlimited hosts in the past without issue.
