pg_collation catalog is also important for pg_dump, because system collation names are not compatible over OS and pg_dump output should be portable. pg_collation adds abstract layer which solve this problem.
That's a valid point. We'll still need a way to map OS locale to whatever internal names we invent for them, though, so I'm not sure if the pg_collation catalog helps much, but just moves the problem elsewhere. The pg_dump output of the CREATE COLLATION statements still wouldn't be portable from one OS to another.
