Yes, EXPLAIN ANALYZE is attached.

According to this, CTE year_total generates 384,208 rows. It is much smaller
than estimation (4.78M rows), however, filter's selectivity of CTE Scan was
not large as expectation.
For example, the deepest CTE Scan returns 37923 rows and 26314 rows, even though
40 rows were expected. On the next level, relations join between 11324 rows and
9952 rows, towards to estimation of 40rows x 8 rows.
If NestLoop is placed instead of HashJoin, it will make an explosion of the number
of loops.
