Is there a way to change postgres behavior to name database folders by the database name? And table files in them by table's name? And not using OIDs.
No.
Is there a particular problem you are trying to solve?
No, there is not a problem. Its a convenience to visually view databases and tables with theirs name and know what the size they occupy with using queries of pg_catalog, like there is in mysql.
There are a databases where you can see only one file or few files without any relation to tables.

So this is the culprit. Isn't there any option to use names? Even when compiling?
