According to upstream's NEWS file, lzo is optional since 1.18.4

Seems like it was optional before too. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cairo/cairo/-/merge_requests/590 simply exposed it as a meson switch.

Feel free to attach a patch or make a pull request on github.

Looks like lzo is only used for cairo-script, so yeah, probably not often used.
