Which Postgres version do you use?
I observe:
postgres=# CREATE TABLE test1(f INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# ANALYZE test1;
ANALYZE
postgres=# EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test1;
QUERY PLAN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Index Only Scan using test1_pkey on test1 (cost=0.12..8.14 rows=1 width=4)
(1 row)
postgres=# select version();
version
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 15devel on x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0, compiled by Apple clang version 11.0.3 (clang-1103.0.32.62), 64-bit
(1 row)
Without "ANALYZE test1;" table_block_relation_estimate_size() assumes relation size is 10 blocks.
