You can always take a look at the actual spec:

But in summary: while in SCSI your Nexus for any command is with the
logic unit, in NVMe it is with the controller.   Many admin commands
operate on the whole controller.

I wouldn't because the scheme already doesn't make any sense for SCSI,
nevermind should we try to map NVMe into a scsi specific worldview.
