As noted a few years ago [0], the commit message for 3223b25ff73 indicates
this was intentional:
I left the grammar and tab-completion support for CREATE UNLOGGED
MATERIALIZED VIEW in place, since it's harmless and allows delivering a
more specific error message about the unsupported feature.
However, since it looks like the feature was never actually supported in a
release, and the revert has been in place for over a decade, I think it'd
be reasonable to remove the tab completion now. It looks like the folks on
the 2021 thread felt similarly.
