IMO, The reason is we want to make sure we only ignore the cost when Gather is the top node.
And it seems the generate_useful_gather_paths called in apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths is the right place which can only create top node Gather.
So we change the flag in apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths around generate_useful_gather_paths to identify the top node.
