No need to change the database itself, these kind of features belong in foreign data wrappers. You can already treat csv files as tables or access tables in other databases(mysql, oracle etc)

With a massive performance impact (for reading csvs anyway).

It's a matter of how much you want to keep using postgres versus if you want interactive-level performance.

I'm not saying one is better or worse than the other but they are definitely not the same.
