This is one of those cases where it's micro-customisation without real widespread benefit. As a rule, when you need control over the hash function, you also need to touch other authentication things. This is supported as custom authentication backends. It's not that we necessarily say people should only use our default storage method, it's just that it is very much a real edge case to want to change just that one feature. Adding settings for every fine-grained feature leads to settings bloat and maintenance problems in the future. So we've made the common use-case (store and validate a password, without caring about the mechanics) and the harder stuff (any customisation you like) possible.
