Help with an interesting Postgres question: Why isn't an Index Only Scan used on a partition accessed via the parent table?.

create table users (
id int,
created date,
summarised int default 0);
insert into users (id, created)values
(1,'2020-01-01'),
(2,'2020-01-15'),
(3,'2020-02-15');
create table summary(
year int,
month int,
num_id int);
