Sorry, I was unclear.

One reason is that there isn't necessarily anything to find.
Certainly, when I try this out with a debugger, even the B-Tree scan
doesn't have doesn't even have IndexScanDescData.parallel_scan set. It
isn't actually a parallel B-Tree scan. It is a
serial/non-parallel-aware index scan that is run from a parallel
worker, and feeds its output into a gather merge node despite all
this.
