I am not particularly a fan of using the term “isomorphic” to mean “same language on client and server” either, but for whatever reason it’s a term in favor at the moment, at least in the JS community. (Though, half the articles seem to be “why are we using this word?”.)
I think it’s telling that the description for this video goofs up and calls it “isometric development” in one sentence and “isomorphic” the next. ;)
I ran into this term just yesterday. I do not see any particular reason to do this. Hell, the term automorphic or endomorphic would be a better fit.
