Yeah, it certainly gives off a vibe of "doesn't know Postgres and isn't
interested in learning".

It's possible that what they give you is databases without any PLs
installed, and without either superuser or database owner privileges so
you can't install PLs yourself. In which case it'd be true that you
can't create any triggers either, but that would hardly be the first
reason why such a setup wouldn't be very acceptable. Seems more
likely that you just have a clueless support person.
