Back in 2014, I wrote an article called Performance Tuning the Whole Query Plan. The optimizer chooses this plan without any hints on my system configuration because the estimated cost of the plan is below the cost threshold for parallelism. This is very efficient, as confirmed by the elapsed time of 13ms (all of which is CPU time).
