1. RefetchForeignRow() does not take ForeignScanState argument, so it is not obvious how to cooperate with the private state in ForeignScanState; that may include expression pushed down, and so on. 2. ForeignScan with scanrelid == 0 represents the result of joined relations. Even if the refetched tuple is visible on base-relation level, it may not survive the join condition at the upper level. Once relations join get pushed down, only FDW driver knows how base relations are joined. So, it is the only reasonable way to ask FDW driver on ExecScanFetch, to check visibility of a particular tuple or another tuple made from this.
