Because you didn't touch this part of the function:
/*
* Send partial messages. If force is true, make sure that any pending
* xact commit/abort gets counted, even if no table stats to send.
*/
if (regular_msg.m_nentries > 0 ||
(force && (pgStatXactCommit > 0 || pgStatXactRollback > 0)))
pgstat_send_tabstat(®ular_msg);
The statistics would not actually be sent unless a table had been
accessed or it was forced because the connection was closing.
