#6647 adds the following comment that describes an optimization:
// The output gather is collaborative: every host shards its slice of
// the view to the owning host's workers, which accumulate and emit
// it. The accumulator's `enable_count` is per-host and is enabled
// only when an output connector attaches, which in a multihost
// pipeline happens only on the owning host (connectors, including
// dynamic HTTP `listen`, are assigned to one host). A non-owning
// host would therefore leave its accumulator disabled and send an
// empty batch instead of its slice, silently dropping every view
// record computed on that host.
//
// Enable the accumulator on every host so the gather is always
// complete. Materialized views already get this via the integral's
// `into_enabled_stream`; do the same for the delta gather. This
// gathers a view even when it has no connector; a future
// optimization could propagate the owning host's connector state to
// the other hosts to skip that work.
We should implement that optimization.
