So common that no one has ever asked for this feature before?

You would need to get buy-in that that community wants the relocation of
pg_largeobject to be supported via an SQL command, and at that point
pg_upgrade would be modified to support that. It is unlikely pg_upgrade
is going to be modified to support something that isn't supported at the
SQL level. Of course, you can create a custom version of pg_upgrade to
do that.
