I can understand that a Roc may not grow very large in the adventuring span of a human lifetime. Even for elves that steadily adventure with a mixed group would be too fast for the next growth stage.
What about for NPCs of previous adventurers that have settled down and only advanced little in the last couple of hundred years? Is there an advancement option for the Roc companion? Or are long lived species needlessly bound to rules for humans?

The main design reason against Huge-sized or larger animal companions has (IIRC) always been that they're hard to take into an dungeon, so if a Druid PC chooses one, they kinda lose out on a major part of their whole class a lot of the time.
You might house rule a feat ("Gargantua Tamer"?) allowing Druids at 14th to increase the size of their animal companions one more size category, gaining similar statistical benefits as the one for 7th level. (You might even grant another increase at 20th level too - it should be 21st by normal math progression, but it also makes a nice capstone beyond just Wild Shape at will.)

Just play a small race and you can fly around on your
Roc from 1st level . If you need to go into a dungeon just call a new AC. It only takes 24 hours and you can call your Roc back when you are done .
Or better yet play a pack lord use two feats on boon companion and you can have flying mount at 8th level and your rage pounce tiger as a full AC of your level
