Why is a connection query resulting in this SQL query?

query usersConnection {
  usersConnection(first: 2, after: "a") {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        name
      }
      cursor
    }
  }
}

Already solved it in my next comment: it's because of order by. If you specify a different sort order, like name_desc, it uses the extra query to be able to query from the ID correctly instead of using a separate cursor (the cursor is the ID). cc @bkstorm
