On the chance pg_stat_activity is lying to you what does:
ps ax | grep post
show for backends?
For example:
ps ax | grep post
1217 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/lib/postfix/bin//master -w
1233 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/pgsql12/bin/postmaster -D
/usr/local/pgsql12/data
1253 ? Ss 0:00 postgres: logger
1277 ? Ss 0:00 postgres: checkpointer
1278 ? Ss 0:00 postgres: background writer
1279 ? Ss 0:00 postgres: walwriter
1280 ? Ss 0:00 postgres: autovacuum launcher
1281 ? Ss 0:00 postgres: stats collector
1282 ? Ss 0:00 postgres: logical replication launcher
