I understand why the FK insert needs to lock on the PK row. But why is

I would say this has to do with setting DEFERRABLE on a constraint.
 
Any guesses why this might be? I would have thought that by this point, where we're actually performing the check, anything related to deferring the check would be behind us.

And even if we do require a lock, why FOR KEY SHARE? As I understand it, this won't lock the referencing field, which should be the only thing in the FK relation that we're interested in.
