Yeah, I think it's just because we won't search the pg_temp schema
for function or operator names, unless the calling SQL command
explicitly writes "pg_temp.foo(...)" or equivalent. That's an
ancient security decision, which we're unlikely to undo. It
certainly puts a crimp in the usefulness of putting extensions into
pg_temp, but I don't think it totally destroys the usefulness.
You could still use an extension to package, say, the definitions
of a bunch of temp tables and views that you need to create often.
