But why make CLUSTER more like VACUUM? Shouldn't we make
VACUUM/CLUSTER/ANALYZE more like INSERT/SELECT/REINDEX?

As far as I can tell, the only way you can get in this situation in 15
is by having a superuser create partitions in a non-superuser's table.
I don't think that was an intended use case, so it's probably just
historical reasons that VACUUM/CLUSTER/ANALYZE ended up that way, not
precedent we should necessarily follow.
