That is, of course, true by definition, but I think it's putting the
focus in the wrong place. It's possible that there are other cases
when a scan might a plausible path for a joinrel even if there are no
foreign tables in play. For example, you could cache the joinrel
output and then inject a cache scan as a path for the joinrel.
