Hmm, interesting.  The reason is that it's computing the cost of the
output SELECT list on the basis of the number of times that select list
will be evaluated, ie, once.  But the aggregate function argument
expressions will be evaluated more times than that.  Most of the time an
aggregate is applied to something trivial like a Var reference, so
nobody's noticed that the cost of its input expression is underestimated.

A better estimate isn't going to make that go any faster :-(.
