Yeah, I don't think this is really a problem.  I would expect the psql
support for this feature to be not a whole lot more complicated than
that.  Sure, it might be more than 5 lines of raw code if it requires
an additional version of some query for which we're currently using
the same version for both PG93 and PG92, but it's hardly fair to cite
that as an argument for not doing this.  Such changes are almost
entirely boilerplate.
Here is a pl/python function which gives you "the real" database creation time.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION database_create_ts(INOUT dbname text, OUT ctime timestamp)
RETURNS SETOF RECORD
LANGUAGE plpythonu AS
$$
import os, time
res = plpy.execute("""select datname,
                             current_setting('data_directory') ddir,
                             oid as dboid
from pg_database where datname like '%s';""" % dbname)
for row in res:
    dbpath = '%(ddir)s/base/%(dboid)s' % row
    stat = os.stat(dbpath)
yield row['datname'], '%04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d+00' % time.gmtime(stat.st_ctime)[:6]
$$;

SELECT * FROM database_create_ts('template%');
