Check where the plan goes from a table scan to an indexed access.
Also look at what is showing for SIRead locks in pg_locks as you go.
Between those two bits of information, it should become apparent.

... on a toy table with contrived values.  How different is this
from the often-asked question about why a query against a four-line
table is not using the index they expect, and how can we expect it
to scale if it doesn't?  I agree that it's not unreasonable for
someone to ask either question.  If my response falls short, I'm
game to try again.
