This looks like some stuff for row level security perhaps. My understanding is limited, but perhaps those restrictions are influencing the planners access or reliance on stats.
Also, it would seem like you need the entire table since you don't have an explicit where clause. Why would scanning an index and then also visiting every row in the table be faster than just going directly to the table?
