This used to exist in Postgres, Postgres held all history for all time and you could rewind etc. The reality is it was a huge pain to maintain and no one ever really used it so it got pulled out.
Now days it's far better to look at tooling outside and around Postgres to give you that. Under the covers WAL is effectively this, so with tools like backrest you can maintain backups and WAL forever then have ability to restore and old point as you see fit. On managed service providers a lot of them give this out of the box though only for a limited period of time.
