Because it thought it would be cheaper; see the estimates. Increasing
effective_cache_size or decreasing random_page_cost would favor the
index scan.

Possibly if you break the view apart...

SELECT ... FROM current WHERE id IN (...)
UNION ALL
SELECT ... FROM archive WHERE id IN (...)

The hash alone wouldn't have gotten you the same output as a DISTINCT,
though.
