6M out of 80M rows is not a "small subset".  Typically I'd expect
the planner to use an index-based scan for up to 1 or 2 percent of
the table.  Beyond that, you're going to be touching most pages
of the table anyway.

You can try reducing random_page_cost to favor indexscans, but
you might not find that the query gets any faster.
