Why are pseudo forces called inertial forces in non-inertial frames?

Why are pseudo forces also sometimes called INERTIAL FORCES , even though their need arises because of non inertial frames??

My guess would be because it was the only way to connect them to Newtonian physics such as how centripetal acceleration gets plug in.

They are called "inertial", because they are a consequence of the tendency to move inertially. In non-inertial frames this inertial movement implies coordinate accelerations. Only for massive objects we can then assign a pseudo-force proportional to mass to them.

hmmm
ok thanks for ur answers!
