IBM Power Ideas Portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM not implement this request. There are modern tool work-arounds -- use Open Source or use SQL, as mentioned in earlier comments.

If a text interface is good enough, there is this tool called NCurses Disk Usage - see more about it here: https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu.
The source can be retrieved from the git repository and compiled in PASE using the compiler tools installed via YUM. I compiled it on our 7.3 partition without any issues so far.
Maybe IBM can include this tool in their YUM repository, so compile would not be necessary?
You can already easily do what you are asking for with SQL Services . See the iSee video blog for examples.
